10. s a second stage of Wigner crystallization has been discussed by FILINOV A. V., BONITZ M. and LOZOVIK YU. E., Phys. Rev. Lett., 86 (2001) 3851, where the inter-shell rotation is suppressed. However, this phenomenon is not further discussed here.

16. Experimentally observable addition energies are determined by free energy differences. However, at the low temperature considered here, entropic contributions are very small. This has been checked for several N.

21. Further improvement is possible using the multi-level blocking approach [6] to alleviate the sign problem. However, it was not used here to allow for arbitrary Δτ.
