We present a new library designed to provide a simple and straightforward way to implement QM/AMOEBA (Atomic Multipole Optimized Energetics for Biomolecular Applications) and other polarizable QM/MM (Molecular Mechanics) methods based on induced point dipoles. The library, herein referred to as OpenMMPol, is free and open-sourced and is engineered to address the increasing demand for accurate and efficient QM/MM simulations. OpenMMPol is specifically designed to allow polarizable QM/MM calculations of ground state energies and gradients and excitation properties. Key features of OpenMMPol include a modular architecture facilitating extensibility, parallel computing capabilities for enhanced performance on modern cluster architectures, a user-friendly interface for intuitive implementation, and a simple and flexible structure for providing input data. To show the capabilities offered by the library, we present an interface with PySCF to perform QM/AMOEBA molecular dynamics, geometry optimization, and excited-state calculation based on (time-dependent) density functional theory.
