Dear Corina,

The HP code with hybrid functionals is not implemented/compatible. Do you want 
to compute the Hubbard U parameter on top of the HSE ground state? Note that 
one uses either DFT+U (typically with LDA or GGA functionals) or hybrid 
functionals (e.g. HSE06). DFT+U and HSE06 both correct self-interactions 
errors; use one or the other. You can find some discussion in this paper (see 
Sec. II) https://arxiv.org/abs/2203.15732

In the HP code there is a check. The code will stop if one tries to use it with 
hybrid functionals.

If you refer to HP, then the answer is "No". If you refer to PH, then the 
answer is "Yes, but it is not implemented". If you refer to TDDFPT, then the 
answer is "Yes". Note that HP, PH, and TDDFPT are all linear response codes.

Subject: [QE-users] Linear response after HSE

Dear all,

I've tried running hp.x after HSE, and I haven't had any luck. So I did a 
linear response, using the ground state of HSE, but the results don't look 
right. Basically my question is: is it correct to make a linear response after 
HSE? Maybe I am forgetting some important physical concept.

More details: I tried it in two different systems: V-H (dimer) and a molecule 
in vacuum. In both, I did a linear response using the ground state from GGA and 
from HSE. The results from GGA are expected, but in the case of HSE when I plot 
the number of occupations vs. alpha, I get 2 lines that are parallel or do not 
intersect at alpha.

Thank you very much, I appreciate any comment that can help me understand what 
is going on.
