The nuclear-physics landscape has been redesigned as a sequence of effective field
theories (EFTs) connected to the standard model through symmetries and lattice simulations …

This review examines the tendency of light nuclei to exhibit clustering, where correlations
between nucleons result in the formation of precipitates, typically α particles. The …

We optimize Δ-full nuclear interactions from chiral effective field theory. The low-energy
constants of the contact potentials are constrained by two-body scattering phase shifts, and …

A long-standing crucial question with atomic nuclei is whether or not α clustering occurs
there. An α particle (helium-4 nucleus) comprises two protons and two neutrons, and may be …

Recent advances in nuclear structure theory have significantly enlarged the accessible part
of the nuclear landscape via ab initio many-body calculations. These developments open …

First principles calculations of atomic nuclei based on microscopic nuclear forces derived
from chiral effective field theory (EFT) have blossomed in the past years. A key element of …

A common challenge faced in quantum physics is finding the extremal eigenvalues and
eigenvectors of a Hamiltonian matrix in a vector space so large that linear algebra …

Eigenvector continuation is a computational method for parametric eigenvalue problems that
uses subspace projection with a basis derived from eigenvector snapshots from different …

Doubly magic nuclei have a simple structure and are the cornerstones for entire regions of
the nuclear chart. Theoretical insights into the supposedly doubly magic Ni 78 and its …

This primer begins with a brief introduction to the main ideas underlying Effective Field
Theory (EFT) and describes how nuclear forces are obtained from first principles by …
