contents We study the electronic excitation spectra in solid molecular hydrogen (phase I) at ambient temperature and 5-90 GPa pressures using Quantum Monte Carlo methods and Many-Body Perturbation Theory. In this range, the system changes from a wide gap molecular insulator to a semiconductor, altering the nature of the excitations from localized to delocalized. Computed gaps and spectra agree with experiments, proving the ability to predict accurately band gaps of many-body systems in presence of nuclear quantum and thermal effects.
