Lumen is a many-body perturbation theory code for the study of excited states and optical response.
The code is derived by the Yambo code. While in the first versions there will be a full compatibility with the code Yambo we expect with time that the two code will deviate.
Anyway we will do our best to maintain compatibility of Tutorials, Inputs and IO interface with YamboPy
If you want to cite the Lumen code please write something like “calculation performed using the Lumen branch of the Yambo code” and add the Yambo citation:
