Learn ab-initio many-body methods and computational simulations using the Yambo code through this comprehensive lecture series from ICTP. Explore the theoretical foundations of many-body perturbation theory and its practical applications in computing excited states of materials. Master the transition from theoretical concepts to real computational implementations, covering key topics including the quasi-particle concept, GW approximation methods, and their specific applications to 2D materials. Delve into the Bethe-Salpeter equation derivation, understanding its physical concepts and practical implementations for studying excitonic properties. Examine advanced topics such as exciton dynamics from a many-body perspective, phonon modes, and electron-phonon coupling using density functional perturbation theory (DFPT). Gain insights into probing electronic structure through photoemission spectroscopy and understand how to move beyond independent particle schemes using linear response theory. Develop practical skills in using the Yambo code for materials science simulations while building a solid theoretical foundation in many-body quantum mechanics applied to condensed matter systems.
