Daresbury Laboratory was pleased to welcome 40 scientists to the “Questaal Hands-On Course” which took place over four days between May 16th and 19th.  The Questaal software suite features the first all-electron GW code and the first implementation of the quasiparticle-self-consistent GW method, which is significantly more accurate and reliable than conventional density-functional methods.  The focus of the course was to introduce these advanced methods to researchers already familiar with electronic structure calculations and to teach them the practical details needed to perform such calculations for materials and systems relevant to their individual research areas.
