3 Quantum Monte Carlo methods 3 Goal: solve the many-body problem for correlated systems in a non perturbative fashion 12 VMC CVMC GFMC AFDMC (C)VMC GFMC AFDMC light systems A apple CVMC AFDMC light to mediumheavy nuclei A 50 A E E 0 minimization E! E 0 propagation AFDMC infinite matter A!1 Pros: Work with bare interactions. Good for strongly correlated systems. Stochastic method: errors quantifiable and systematically improvable. 1/ p N Cons: Some limitations in A and/or in the interaction to be used.

7 Nuclear Hamiltonians 7 Model: non-relativistic nucleons interacting with an effective nucleon-nucleon (NN) force and three-nucleon interaction (NNN) H = ~ 2 X 2m N i r 2 i + X i<j v ij + X i<j<k v ijk +... v ij v ijk fit to NN scattering data & deuteron fit to properties of (light?) nuclei + constraints Focus on two families of nuclear interactions: Phenomenological potentials: Argonne V18 (NN) + Urbana / Illinois (NNN) -EFT potentials: N 2 LO local Note: local vs non-local ( p =(p1 p 2 )/2 ( q = p 0 p local r p 0 =(p 0 1 p 0 2)/2 k =(p 0 + p)/2 non-local r r

Accurate up to (at least) 2-3 saturation density. Suitable for QMC calculations. Very good description of several observables in light nuclei (GFMC ground-state energies: uncertainties within 1-2%). Phenomenological interactions are phenomenological, not clear how to improve their quality. Theoretical uncertainties hard to quantify. 3-body forces?

15 Chiral potentials 16 Pros: Cons: Chiral interactions have a theoretical derivation and they can be systematically improved (if proper power counting ). They are typically softer than the phenomenological forces, making most of the calculations easier to converge. Many-body forces are naturally accounted for. Standard formulation: momentum-space, non-local. Not suitable for QMC.
