Atomic nuclei exhibit multiple energy scales ranging from hundreds of MeV in binding energies to fractions of an MeV for low-lying collective excitations. As the limits of nuclear binding is approached near the neutron- and proton…

High-energy nuclear collisions have opened a new experimental method to reveal collective behavior in nuclear ground states through the lens of many-body correlations of nucleons. Using ab initio lattice and variational calculations of…
Nuclear cluster physics implicitly assumes a distinction between groups of degrees-of-freedom, that is the (frozen) intrinsic and (explicitly treated) relative cluster motion. We formulate a realistic and practical method to describe the…

There have been many empirical evindences which show that the single-particle picture holds to a good approximation in atomic nuclei. In this picture, protons and neutrons move independently inside a mean-field potential generated by an…
Although self-consistent multi-configuration methods have been used for decades to address the description of atomic and molecular many-body systems, only a few trials have been made in the context of nuclear structure. This work aims at…
A dynamical formulation of coupled cluster theory is derived using a variational principle. By allowing time-dependent single-particle functions, a high degree of adaptivity is introduced, allowing complex systems to be simulated with high…
A new method that accurately describes strongly correlated states and captures dynamical correlation is presented. It is derived as a modification of coupled-cluster theory with single and double excitations (CCSD) through consideration of…
