Double excitations are crucial to understanding numerous chemical, physical, and biological processes, but accurately predicting them remains a challenge. In this work, we explore the particle–particle random phase approximation (ppRPA) as an efficient accurate approach for computing double excitation energies. We benchmark ppRPA using various exchange-correlation functionals 21 molecular systems two point defect systems. Our results show that with containing appropriate amounts of exact exchange provides accuracy comparable high-level wave function methods such CCSDT CASPT2, significantly reduced computational cost. Furthermore, demonstrate use starting from excited (N − 2)-electron state calculated by ΔSCF first time, well its application in bulk periodic These findings suggest is promising tool calculation partial energies both
