DFT+U for RPA Ground State
For RPA calculations in VASP, a four step process can be utilized where the first step is to compute the occupied orbitals at either the GGA or hybrid GGA level.
I am curious with materials that are ...

What are the advantages/disadvantages of QMC over ACFDT-RPA?
I had some experience with the ACFDT-RPA, but despite its promising features it's not practical most of the time, and for that reason, I'm looking for a new method for reference calculations.
QMC is ...

What are typical RPA capabilities of plane-wave codes?
Plenty of standard plane-wave codes are able to compute correlation energies on top of DFT solutions using the random-phase approximation (RPA). I was wondering what the typical capabilities are in ...
