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 …

Motivated by limitations of the Bloch–Horowitz–Brandow perturbative approach to nuclear
structure we have developed the non-perturbative ab initio no core shell model (NCSM) …

In the past decade, coupled-cluster theory has seen a renaissance in nuclear physics, with
computations of neutron-rich and medium-mass nuclei. The method is efficient for nuclei …

We present a comprehensive review of the In-Medium Similarity Renormalization Group (IM-
SRG), a novel ab initio method for nuclei. The IM-SRG employs a continuous unitary …

We propose a novel storage scheme for three-nucleon (3N) interaction matrix elements
relevant for the normal-ordered two-body approximation used extensively in ab initio …

We predict the limits of existence of atomic nuclei, the proton and neutron drip lines, from the
light through medium-mass regions. Starting from a chiral two-and three-nucleon interaction …

Perturbative and non-perturbative expansion methods already constitute a tool of choice to
perform ab initio calculations over a significant part of the nuclear chart. In this context, the …
