[00] Overview

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 many-body perturbation theory (MBPT), covering topics such as the GW approximation, Bethe-Salpeter equation (BSE), 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.

YAMBO is a flagship code of the MaX Centre of Excellence, ICSC PNRR Italian National Centre for HPC, Big Data and Quantum Computing and the Hanami project.

Applicants are required to have a background in DFT and in running DFT simulations.
Selection will be based on motivation, background, and diversity considerations.
The school will feature a Poster Session and a User-driven Discussion for participants to present their research and engage with experts in the field. 
There is no registration fee and we encourage applications from female scientists.
Attendees will be responsible for their own travel and accommodation expenses.
coffee breaks, lunches, and a social dinner will be provided by the organizers.
