Encouraging results:

But several unsatisfactory aspects:
correlation energies far too negative
strong dependence on basis size
bump at intermediate distances in some dissociation curves
dependence on input orbitals
embarrassing results for simple van der Waals dimers!

Conclusions and perspectives
Conclusions
RSH+TDHF method overcomes some problems of standardRPA
RSH+TDHF method seems well suited for van der Waalssystems
RSH+TDHF method has also problems (e.g., dissociation)
RSH+MP2 can be a cheaper alternative to RSH+TDHF
Perspectives
efficient implementation in quantum chemistry software
application to larger molecular systems (benzene dimer, ...)
application to solids
exploration of other variants of the method
