Dear Psi-k Community,

we are pleased to announce the 3rd Daresbury Questaal school. It will take place 13-17 May 2019, at Daresbury Laboratory, UK. This is an opportunity for researchers to learn about advanced electronic structure and gain hands-on experience with Questaal's DFT/QSGW/BSE/DMFT functionalities. The event is free to attend and local accommodation will be provided.

The school aims to introduce students to the broad range of capabilities of the code suite based on all–electron DFT and QSGW. The focus will be on computation of response functions using higher order corrections beyond GW, non–local vertex corrections through BSE and local spin–fluctuation diagrams through "exact" CT–QMC solver within DMFT. We will highlight a new tight binding basis representation and will demonstrate QSGW electron–phonon coupling calculations. Lectures on fundamental theory will be interspaced with hands-on tutorials. 

Invited speakers/lecturers: Christoph Friedrich (Forschungszentrum Jülich), Laurent Chapon (Diamond Light Source, UK), Brian Cunningham and Myrta Gruening (Queen’s University Belfast), Jerome Jackson (STFC Daresbury), Swagata Acharya, Dimitar Pashov and Mark van Schilfgaarde (King’s College London). 

Accommodation will be provided in nearby Chester, together with breakfast, lunch and transport to and from the laboratory. More information can be found at https://www.questaal.org/

With best regards
