Stored as a total energy in the convention of VarBench; quoted here as E/N (S.S), which is what the papers report (how the conversion works).

Every published energy

Grouped by what the number is. Ranking happens only inside the first group.

Strict variational upper bounds (7)

The record is the lowest eligible energy in this group, and only this group.

Numerically exact (1)

Exact diagonalization, an exact solution, or sign-problem-free QMC where that is established: the answer, not a claim about it.
