Description
After a brief overview of modern nuclear theory (covering both ab initio and phenomenological techniques), this talk will address a number of our recent works on many-nucleon systems. One such line of research involves the propagation of theoretical uncertainties from the chiral nuclear
interaction all the way to the few- and many-nucleon level, using quantum Monte Carlo and efficient emulators. Another family of works addresses the novel statistical technique known as conformal prediction, which we were the first to apply to nuclear physics and have recently extended to neutron-star equations of state. Finally, time permitting, I will also discuss our ongoing studies on pairing in heavy nuclei.
