42. For noble gas atoms, we used PPs generated by FHI98PP code [M. Fuchs and M. Scheffler, Comput. Phys. Commun. CPHCBZ 0010-4655 119, 67 (1999)] which are available at http://www.abinit.org. For Be, the PP used in Ref. is adopted here for comparison. PP for Ca was generated by using ld1 code which is part of QUANTUM-ESPRESSO distribution (Ref.). 10.1016/S0010-4655(98)00201-X

54. Similar to the case of the Be dimer shown in Ref., BEs calculated from EXX/RPA+ total energies are smaller than those obtained from EXX/RPA, but there is no significant change in the bond lengths.
