28. The agreement with 2D QMC simulations is very good up to (formula presented). However, for (formula presented), the QMC simulations (Refs. 12 and 13) give the singlet state (formula presented) as the lowest-energy state as opposed to the triplet state (formula presented) obtained in DFT, which is in agreement with experiments (Refs. 1234). This emphasizes the importance of the third dimension in realistically modeling the confining potential in the dot.

37. The choice of a particular spin as well as the sign of the angular quantum number M is, of course, arbitrary. Similarly, for the third shell, we choose (formula presented) and (formula presented). For the fourth shell, (formula presented) and (formula presented).
