15. The correlation energy is here defined as the difference between the ground-state energy, as calculated minimizing the energy functional (7) using any interacting trial wave function, and the uncorrelated ground-state energy, as calculated assuming uncorrelated electrons [thus using the product of two single-particle quantum states, as shown in Eq. (8)].

20. 0, as for quantum dots, both kinetic and Coulomb energies decrease. Nevertheless, the kinetic contribution decreases faster than the Coulomb energy, leading to a larger Coulomb to total energy ratio.
