Description
Describing nuclear phenomena across a wide range of energy scales from hundreds of MeV in binding energies to fractions of an MeV for low-lying excitations—remains a long-standing challenge in nuclear physics. The ab initio method is a systematically improvable approach for quantitatively describing nuclei using the finest resolution scale possible while maximizing its predictive capabilities. In this talk, I will highlight recent advances in ab initio nuclear structure calculations, focusing on developments in chiral nuclear forces and methods for estimating uncertainties in theoretical predictions.
