Description

Extend Quantum ESPRESSO lattice support so that ibrav values beyond {0, 1, 2, 3, -3} are handled correctly. Closes #408.

Previously:

  • dpdata.formats.qe.traj.convert_celldm silently returned np.eye(3) for any ibrav outside {1, 2, 3, -3} (only emitting a UserWarning), so a CP trajectory without a .cel file produced a wrong unit cell.
  • dpdata.formats.qe.scf.get_cell raised RuntimeError("ibrav > 1 not supported yet.") for every ibrav other than 0 and 1.

Type of change

  • Bug fix (non-breaking change that fixes an issue)
  • New feature (non-breaking change that adds functionality)

Scope / behavior

convert_celldm now implements the full latgen table from QE's Modules/latgen.f90 for ibrav ∈ {1, 2, 3, -3, 4, 5, -5, 6, 7, 8, 9, -9, 91, 10, 11, 12, -12, 13, -13, 14}. Rows of the returned 3×3 matrix are the lattice vectors a1, a2, a3, in the same length unit as celldm[0] (unchanged for ibrav 1/2/3/-3). An unsupported ibrav now raises instead of silently returning an identity cell.

To avoid duplicating the parameter logic, the PW (scf.get_cell) and CP (traj.load_param_file) readers share two new helpers:

  • abc_to_celldm / resolve_celldm: convert the crystallographic input form (A, B, C, cosAB, cosAC, cosBC, in Å) to celldm(1..6) (Bohr, ratios), mirroring QE's abc2celldm, so both the celldm-style and the A/B/C-style inputs work for non-zero ibrav.

ibrav == 0 (CELL_PARAMETERS) is untouched.

Tests / verification

  • tests/test_qe_cp_traj.py: replaced the old test_case_null (which asserted the identity-cell bug for ibrav=8) with golden 3×3 cells for all 20 supported ibrav values, plus a rotation-invariant check of lattice-vector lengths, inter-vector cosines, and cell volume for a representative subset, plus test_unsupported_ibrav_raises.
  • Full python -m unittest discover in tests/: 2391 tests, same 69 errors / 287 skips as the pre-change baseline (all from missing optional deps: ase, parmed, pymatgen, rdkit, deepmd, gaude). No new failures.
  • ruff check and ruff format clean on the modified files.

Dependencies

No new dependencies.

Documentation

The formulas are referenced in the convert_celldm docstring to QE's Modules/latgen.f90.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Expanded Quantum ESPRESSO support to construct accurate unit cells for all supported nonzero lattice types.
    • Lattice parameters can be derived from either celldm values or lattice lengths and angles.
    • Zero-ibrav cells continue to be read from CELL_PARAMETERS in Angstrom units.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Invalid or degenerate lattice parameters now raise clear errors.
    • Unsupported lattice types no longer produce an incorrect identity cell.
    • Conflicting lattice parameter inputs are detected and rejected.

Walkthrough

Quantum Espresso cell loading now supports the implemented nonzero ibrav values. It resolves lattice data from celldm or A/B/C namelist values, validates cell parameters, and retains CELL_PARAMETERS handling for ibrav=0.

141-213: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Add reader-level tests for the resolved cell.

The direct convert_celldm tests do not cover the full reader behavior. The CP suite loads ibrav=8, but its fixture has a .cel file. The reader uses that file for data["cells"], so an incorrect cell from load_param_file can pass the existing virial assertions. The PW/SCF suite covers ibrav=1 with A, but no reader test covers nonzero ibrav with B, C, or cosine values.

Add focused CP and PW/SCF fixtures without overriding .cel data, and assert the resulting cell and unit scaling for ibrav=8 and the A/B/C/cosine form.

NEEDS HUMAN REVIEW / exact-head CI has not executed.

Reviewed the complete 3-file change against the repository guidance, linked issue #408, current discussion, and Quantum ESPRESSO's latgen conventions. The lattice-vector formulas for the supported ibrav families are consistent with QE's definitions, including the alternate negative-index conventions; the new validation rejects non-positive required ratios, invalid/degenerate cosine combinations, and unsupported ibrav values rather than silently returning an identity cell. The A/B/Ccelldm path also preserves the Angstrom/Bohr conversion boundary before the common lattice generator, and scf.get_cell now shares that path for nonzero ibrav.

The earlier review finding around incomplete/invalid lattice parameters is addressed on this head with explicit validation and regression cases. I did not find a new high-confidence functional or numerical blocker in the current diff. One coverage gap remains worth closing before final sign-off: the new tests are strong at the convert_celldm level, but there is still little reader-level coverage proving that a nonzero-ibrav PW/SCF or no-.cel CP input using the A/B/C/cosine form produces the expected final cell with the correct unit scaling. I am treating that as a verification gap rather than a demonstrated correctness blocker.

I cannot approve this head because none of the exact-head GitHub Actions have actually run: test Python import, Type checker, Python package, and Benchmark are all action_required, and there are no completed check-runs for this SHA. Please let the fork workflows execute (or obtain equivalent trusted CI evidence) before merge.
