Excitation energies with respect to the $\text{X}\,{}^1 \Sigma_g^+$ ground state of the $\text{B}\,{}^1\Sigma_u^+$ (red), $\text{E}\,{}^1\Sigma_g^+$ (black), and $\text{F}\,{}^1\Sigma_g^+$ (blue) states of \ce{H2} obtained with the cc-pVQZ basis at the (SF-)BSE level of theory.
The reference EOM-CCSD excitation energies are represented as solid lines, while the results obtained with and without spin-flip are represented as dashed and dotted lines, respectively.
In this case, the spin-conserved calculations have been performed with a restricted reference while the spin-flip calculations have been performed with an unrestricted reference.

This unfortunate feature is due to the appearance of the symmetry-broken UHF solution and the lack of self-consistent in {\GOWO}.
Indeed, $R = 1.2~\AA$ corresponds to the location of the well-known Coulson-Fischer point. \cite{Coulson_1949}

The right side of Fig.~\ref{fig:H2} shows the amount of spin contamination as a function of the bond length for SF-CIS (top), SF-TD-BH\&HLYP (center), and SF-BSE (bottom).
Overall, one can see that $\expval{\hS^2}$ behaves similarly for SF-CIS and SF-BSE with a small spin contamination of the $\text{B}\,{}^1\Sigma_u^+$ at short bond length. In contrast, the $\text{B}$ state is much more spin contaminated at the SF-TD-BH\&HLYP level.

\alert{The kink in the SF-BSE@$G_0W_0$ and SF-dBSE/$G_0W_0$ curves for \ce{H2} are due to the appearance of the symmetry-broken UHF solution.
Indeed, $R = 1.2~\AA$ corresponds to the location of the well-known Coulson-Fischer point.
Note that, as mentioned in our manuscript, all the calculations are performed with a UHF reference (even the ones based on a closed-shell singlet reference).
Of course, if one relies solely on the RHF solution, this kink disappears (see figure below). it would be, nonetheless, inconsistent with the rest of the paper.
Of course, if one relies solely on the RHF solution, this kink disappears as illustrated by the figure below which has been also included in the Supporting Information.
However, it would be inconsistent with the rest of the paper.
The appearance of this kink is now discussed in the revised version of the manuscript.
At the ev$GW$ level, this kink would certainly still exist as one does not self-consistently optimised the orbitals in this case.
However, it would likely disappear at the qs$GW$ level but it remains to be confirmed (work is currently being done in this direction).
