QPMS README
===========
QPMS is a toolkit for frequency-domain simulations of photonic systems
QPMS (standing for QPMS Photonic Multiple Scattering)
is a toolkit for frequency-domain simulations of photonic systems
consisting of compact objects (particles) inside a homogeneous medium. Scattering
properties of the individual particles are described by their T-matrices
(which can be obtained e.g. with the `scuff-tmatrix` tool from
(which can be obtained using one of the built-in generators or
e.g. with the `scuff-tmatrix` tool from
the [SCUFF-EM] suite).
QPMS handles the multiple scattering of electromagnetic radiation between
