Jan 16, 2019 at 16:42 comment added Tyberius The correlation is due to e-e repulsion. However the Coulomb energy is generally used to refer to the energy based on the average effect of the electrons repelling each other.
Jan 16, 2019 at 16:30 comment added Stanislav But hence why we cannot consider that correlated motion via only Coulomb interaction? Coulomb repulsion doesn't really include that correlated motion?
Jan 16, 2019 at 16:21 comment added Tyberius I would say its not the correlation energy which is nonclassical, since it is just a consequence of the motion of the electrons being correlated. What is nonclassical is the exchange energy (which is often lumped together with the correlation in DFT). The exchange energy is nonclassical because it is Coulomb like, but only arises due to the fact that electrons are fermions (i.e. that their wavefunction is antisymmetric with respect to exchange of particle labels). @Stanislav
