The Hamiltonian
H = −½ ∑i ∇i2 + ∑i<j vE(ri − rj) + Nξ/2
Homogeneous electron gas in 3D: N↑ = 27, N↓ = 0 in a periodic bcc cell at rs = 10 bohr, Γ point. vE is the Ewald-summed Coulomb interaction with a uniform neutralizing background, ξ the Madelung term. Hartree atomic units; the energy per electron is E/N.

Every published energy
Grouped by what the number is. Where the instance is not solved, the lowest unflagged energy of any group is the record.
Strict variational upper bounds (3)
Where the instance is not solved, the record is the lowest unflagged energy in this group or among the projected and extrapolated ones, with or without an error bar; where it is solved, the exact energy is the record and the lowest of these is the closest challenger.
Projected or fixed-node estimates (2)
Variational only within a constraint: fixed-node, constrained-path, GFMC on a trial state. Node- or constraint-dependent, so not cleanly comparable to each other or to strict bounds. Like any unflagged energy, one holds the record where it is the lowest on an unsolved instance.
