Excited states in complex materials by MBPT methods

Events, MaX Training

Date: 19/05/2025

Location: Modena (IT)

Date: May 19-23, 2025
Venue: UNIMORE, Modena, Italy
Application deadline: March 31, 2025. 

MaX is pleased to announce the upcoming YAMBO School “Many-Body Perturbation Theory (MBPT) and Excited-State Simulations”, to be held at the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, Modena (Italy), co-located with the CNR-NANO S3 Centre.

This school is designed for researchers interested in advanced computational methods for studying light-matter interactions, crucial for optoelectronic devices, quantum computing, and energy applications.

Participants will receive introductory and advanced lectures on MBPT, covering topics such as the GW approximation, Bethe-Salpeter equation, non-linear optics, and recent algorithmic advances for 2D systems and metals. Hands-on sessions will focus on practical simulations using the YAMBO code within a high-performance computing (HPC) environment, including GPU-accelerated machines. Additionally, participants will learn Python-based post-processing and data analysis with YamboPy.

The school will also feature a Poster Session and a user-driven discussion, providing a platform for participants to present their research and engage with experts in the field. Selection of applicants will be based on motivation, background, and diversity considerations.
