In [Phys. Rev. B 107, 094433 (2023)], Deng et al. have proposed an electron-muon correlation functional within the context of the two-component density functional theory (TC-DFT) for crystals/molecules containing positively charged muons.…
Coupled cluster theory with a Kohn-Sham reference (KS-CC) can dramatically outperform its Hartree-Fock counterpart for strongly correlated systems, but the origin of these improvements has remained unclear. Here we demonstrate that these…

We derive a local approximation for the correlation energy in two-dimensional electronic systems. In the derivation we follow the scheme originally developed by Colle and Salvetti for three dimensions, and consider a Gaussian approximation…
The exact interaction energy of a many-electron system is determined by the electron pair density, which is not well-approximated in standard Kohn-Sham density functional models. Here we study the (complicated but well-defined) exact…
