In particular, the combination of the so-called $GW$ approximation of many-body perturbation theory, giving access to reliable charged excitations and quasiparticle energies, and the Bethe-Salpeter formalism, able to catch excitonic effects, has shown to provide accurate excitation energies in many chemical scenarios with a typical error of $0.1$--$0.3$ eV. +With a similar computational cost than time-dependent density-functional theory (TD-DFT), BSE@$GW$ is then able to provide an accuracy on par with the most accurate global hybrid functionals without the unsettling choice of the exchange-correlation functional. In this \textit{Perspective} article, we provide a historical overview of the Bethe-Salpeter formalism, with a particular focus on its condensed-matter roots. We also propose a critical review of its strengths and weaknesses for different chemical situations. Future directions of developments and improvements are also discussed. diff --git a/TOC/TOC.pdf b/TOC/TOC.pdf index 815503f..5ecdf1b 100644 Binary files a/TOC/TOC.pdf and b/TOC/TOC.pdf differ diff --git a/TOC/TOC.tex b/TOC/TOC.tex index 59bb87a..2f4f5cb 100644 --- a/TOC/TOC.tex +++ b/TOC/TOC.tex @@ -10,9 +10,9 @@ \begin{tikzpicture} \begin{scope}[very thick, node distance=5cm,on grid,>=stealth', - block1/.style={rectangle,draw,fill=violet!20}, - block2/.style={rectangle,draw,fill=blue!20}, - comp1/.style={rectangle,draw,fill=purple!40}, + block1/.style={rectangle,draw,fill=red!20}, + block2/.style={rectangle,draw,fill=orange!20}, + comp1/.style={rectangle,draw,fill=green!40}, comp2/.style={circle,draw,fill=green!40}, comp3/.style={rectangle,fill=white!40}]
