The Hamiltonian

H = −½ ∑i ∇i2 + ∑i<j vE(ri − rj) + Nξ/2

Homogeneous electron gas in 3D: N↑ = 7, N↓ = 7 in a periodic sc cell at rs = 0.1 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.

Stored as a total energy in Hartree (rules §12); quoted here as E/N (Ha), the energy per electron (how the conversion works).

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.

Extrapolations (3)

Zero-variance, bond-dimension or Trotter-error extrapolations. Not a bound: no ansatz reached the number itself. Like any unflagged energy, one holds the record where it is the lowest on an unsolved instance.

No Ewald-sum statement beyond that. The paper prints correlation energies only, which do not depend on the Madelung term, and no Hartree-Fock energy.
