Every published energy
Grouped by what the number is. The exact energy comes first where there is one; in every other group the lowest unflagged energy is its best value, and each row's distance is to that best (rules §6).
Numerically exact (1)
Exact diagonalization, an exact solution, or sign-problem-free QMC where that is established. An exact energy is shown first, before the best of each other class. QMC is exact only within its error bar, which it must state, and reads exact (stochastic); an exact diagonalization outranks it. For a diagonalization resolved by symmetry sector only the ground state's sector is listed; the lowest energies of the other sectors are the instance's spectrum, in its JSON, and are not shown as the exact energy.
Strict variational upper bounds (4)
Energies that a variational state reached (VMC, DMRG and MPS at finite bond dimension, PEPS, NQS, VQE). Each is an upper bound on the ground-state energy.

-0.6190371(2), SSE QMC
Checked 2026-09-15 · arXiv HTML parsed locally, one value per table cell; no LLM transcription
Reported as. E0/N_b = 0.3537355(1) (magnitude, per bond, N_b = 112), L = 8, open
Table 2, "SSE data for L x L systems with open boundary conditions. The ground state energy is normalized by the number of interaction bonds N_b = 2(L^2 - L)", row L = 8. Printed as a magnitude; E/N = -(E0/N_b) N_b / N = -0.61903712 in S.S units, Pauli total = 4 N E/N. The L = 6 value agrees with the exact-diagonalization row on square_36_O to 3.3e-7 (2 sigma), and L = 10 and 16 reproduce the rows QMBL already quotes from this paper via arXiv:2605.13807.

Plotted as a point in Fig. 12(a), not printed in the paper; Table III prints the zero-variance extrapolation over the s >= 1 runs at this L, carried on this instance as an `extrapolated` row. Variance is Var(H)/N^2 in S.S units (see script header); total = var x N^2 x 16.

TABLE II, row D=8, column L=8: -0.619013(2). This value is not among the 8 cells present in the delivered harvest (which mismatched Table I's D=8 bond-dimension row for 16/24/100-site lattices instead) but is read directly from the source text of Table II, the table the harvester's caption field actually names for this instance. | Table II's own thermodynamic-limit row (D=8 column, L=infinity: -0.66977(25)) and its exact/QMC comparison row confirm the same per-site S.S convention as the instance's exact_per_site (-0.619037125); no rescale needed.
