Ready to test your knowledge of density-functional-theory functionals (minus dispersion corrections) in a multiple-choice game of "real or fake"?
This quiz is modified from a version originally made for Rowan's employees. The real functionals are derived from those suggested in the QChem manual. The fake ones were deliberately designed to baffle even the most seasoned DFT experts. To learn more about the various classes of DFT functionals, how they're constructed, and which ones Rowan recommends, check out our article on The "Charlotte's Web" of Density-Functional Theory (DFT).

Our platform lets you submit, view, analyze, and share calculations using cutting-edge methods trusted by hundreds of leading scientists. We give every new user 500 free credits to start, plus more every week. Making an account and running your first calculation takes only seconds: start using Rowan today!
