Helium atom is the simplest many-body electronic system provided by nature. The exact solution to the Schrodinger equation is known for helium ground and excited states, and represents a workbench for any many-body methodology. Here, we check the ab initio many-body GW approximation and Bethe-Salpeter equation (BSE) against the exact solution for helium. Starting from Hartree-Fock, we show that GW and BSE yield impressively accurate results on excitation energies and oscillator strength, systematically improving time-dependent Hartree-Fock. These findings suggest that the accuracy of BSE and GW approximations is not significantly limited by self-interaction and self-screening problems even in this few electron limit. We further discuss our results in comparison to those obtained by time-dependent density-functional theory.

We check the ab initio GW approximation and Bethe-Salpeter equation (BSE) many-body methodology against the exact solution benchmark of the hydrogen molecule H$_2$ ground state and excitation spectrum, and in comparison with the configuration interac
tion (CI) and time-dependent Hartree-Fock methods. The comparison is made on all the states we could unambiguously identify from the excitonic wave functions symmetry. At the equilibrium distance $R = 1.4 , a_0$, the GW+BSE energy levels are in good agreement with the exact results, with an accuracy of 0.1~0.2 eV. GW+BSE potential-energy curves are also in good agreement with the CI and the exact result up to $2.3 , a_0$. The solution no longer exists beyond $3.0 , a_0$ for triplets ($4.3 , a_0$ for singlets) due to instability of the ground state. We tried to improve the GW reference ground state by a renormalized random-phase approximation (r-RPA), but this did not solve the problem.
Over time, many different theories and approaches have been developed to tackle the many-body problem in quantum chemistry, condensed-matter physics, and nuclear physics. Here we use the helium atom, a real system rather than a model, and we use the
exact solution of its Schrodinger equation as a benchmark for comparison between methods. We present new results beyond the random-phase approximation (RPA) from a renormalized RPA (r-RPA) in the framework of the self-consistent RPA (SCRPA) originally developed in nuclear physics, and compare them with various other approaches like configuration interaction (CI), quantum Monte Carlo (QMC), time-dependent density-functional theory (TDDFT), and the Bethe-Salpeter equation on top of the GW approximation. Most of the calculations are consistently done on the same footing, e.g. using the same basis set, in an effort for a most faithful comparison between methods.
We study within the many-body Greens function GW and Bethe-Salpeter formalisms the excitation energies of a paradigmatic model dipeptide, focusing on the four lowest-lying local and charge-transfer excitations. Our GW calculations are performed at th
e self-consistent level, updating first the quasiparticle energies, and further the single-particle wavefunctions within the static Coulomb-hole plus screened-exchange approximation to the GW self-energy operator. Important level crossings, as compared to the starting Kohn-Sham LDA spectrum, are identified. Our final Bethe-Salpeter singlet excitation energies are found to agree, within 0.07 eV, with CASPT2 reference data, except for one charge-transfer state where the discrepancy can be as large as 0.5 eV. Our results agree best with LC-BLYP and CAM-B3LYP calculations with enhanced long-range exchange, with a 0.1 eV mean absolute error. This has been achieved employing a parameter-free formalism applicable to metallic or insulating extended or finite systems.
We study within the many-body Greens function GW and Bethe-Salpeter approaches the neutral singlet excitations of the zinctetraphenylporphyrin and C70 fullerene donor-acceptor complex. The lowest transition is a charge-transfer excitation between the
donor and the acceptor with an energy in excellent agreement with recent constrained density functional theory calculations. Beyond the lowest charge-transfer state, of which the energy can be determined with simple electrostatic models that we validate, the Bethe-Salpeter approach provides the full excitation spectrum. We evidence the existence of hot electron-hole states which are resonant in energy with the lowest donor intramolecular excitation and show an hybrid intramolecular and charge-transfer character, favouring the transition towards charge separation. These findings support the recently proposed scenario for charge separation at donor-acceptor interfaces through delocalized hot charge-transfer states.
In this paper we study the properties of diquarks (composed of $u$ and/or $d$ quarks) in the Bethe-Salpeter formalism under the covariant instantaneous approximation. We calculate their BS wave functions and study their effective interaction with the
pion. Using the effective coupling constant among the diquarks and the pion, in the heavy quark limit $m_Qtoinfty$, we calculate the decay widths of $Sigma_Q^{(*)}$ ($Q=c,b$) in the BS formalism under the covariant instantaneous approximation and then give predictions of the decay widths $Gamma(Sigma_b^{(*)}toLambda_b+pi)$.
