[Pw_forum] Optical absorption using GW approximation

[Giuseppe Mattioli]

Dear Barnali Bhattacharya
You should definitely use yambo. GWL calculates the GW eigenvalues  
("quasiparticles"), but (afaik) does not still perform Bethe-Salpeter  
calculations. See the yambo site for examples of such calculations.
