Yambo school – Modena 2025, 19-23 May

YAMBO is a plane-waves first-principles code for calculating excited-state properties – such as quasiparticle energies and optical spectra – of solid-state systems within the framework of many-body perturbation theory (MBPT) and time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT).

Quasiparticle energies arecalculated within the GW approximation for the self-energy. Optical properties are evaluated either by solving the Bethe–Salpeter equation (BSE) or by using the adiabatic local density approximation (ALDA).

YAMBO calculations require a previously computed electronic structure and for this reason it is currently interfaced with Quantum ESPRESSO and ABINIT.

Aiida plugins for YAMBO, such as YamboCalculation and YamboConvergence, automatise the very complex multi-parameter dependence that characterises GW calculations.
