9th BerkeleyGW Tutorial Workshop & 4th Berkeley Excited States Conference. Feb 13-17, 2023

The ninth annual BerkeleyGW Tutorial Workshop will be held February 13-15, 2023. This hybrid in-person/virtual event targets grad students, postdocs, and researchers interested in ab initio calculations of many-electron effects in excited-state properties of condensed matter and will include basic GW and BSE theory, features of the BerkeleyGW package, and detailed examples and hands-on user sessions on the GW and GW Bethe-Salpeter equation approaches using the BerkeleyGW package.

The fourth annual Berkeley Excited States Conference (BESC2023) will be held February 16-17 as a hybrid in-person/virtual event featuring invited talks by experts on recent progress in the field.

BerkeleyGW Tutorial Workshop, Feb 13-15, 2023

Three-day workshop with instructions and hands-on sessions. Computing resources and temporary training accounts will be provided at NERSC. The target participants for the Workshop are graduate students, postdocs, and researchers who are interested in learning about or sharpening their skills on ab initio calculations of many-electron effects in excited-state properties of condensed matter. Tutorial content includes GW and GW-BSE calculations using BerkeleyGW on solids and low-dimensional materials, quasiparticle band structures, optical spectra including electron-hole interactions, and analysis of excitons. Examples of previous workshop materials are available on the BerkeleyGW website.

4th Berkeley Excited States Conference (BESC2021), Feb 16-17, 2023

BESC2023 will be a general topical conference with mainly invited talks by experts on recent progress in the theory and applications of ab initio study of quantum many-body effects as well as experiments in excited-state phenomena in materials, showcasing forefront research that involves advanced many-body approaches (e.g., GW, GW-BSE & beyond, DMFT, quantum Monte Carlo, TDDFT, TDGW, etc.), novel experiments, and new science in the excited states.
