Yambo is an open source project aimed at studying excited state properties of condensed matter systems from first principles using many-body methods. As input, yambo requires ground state electronic structure data as computed by density functional theory codes such as Quantum ESPRESSO and Abinit. yambo’s capabilities include the calculation of linear response quantities (both independent-particle and including electron–hole interactions), quasi-particle corrections based on the GW formalism, optical absorption, and other spectroscopic quantities. Yambo is equipped with a new and efficient parallel structure that makes it possible to exploit modern high performance computing architectures. It is also equipped with automate workflows by interfacing with the yambopy and AiiDA software tools.
