Which risk increases when interpolating wave functions between Kohn-Sham DFT calculations?

💡 Explanation

Spurious electronic excitations increase because the Linear Combination of Atomic Orbitals introduces errors in the wave function; this disruption raises the system’s energy. Therefore, unintended excitations dominate, rather than yielding ground-state properties as intended in DFT,
