Abstract:
The capability of the supercomputer increases dramatically in recent years, which enables us to solve many previously formidable quantum many-body problems. We define the "ab initio calculation" as the operation that solving the Schrodinger equation with brute force. In nuclear physics, the ab initio calculation sees a rapid development in the 21 century. Among the various methods, the lattice effective field theory (lattice EFT) handle the nucleons directly in the spatial representation and is advantageous in describing phenomena with strong many-body correlations, such as nuclear clustering or nuclear thermodynamcs. I will briefly introduce the basic ideas of the lattice EFT and highlight its recent applications in studying nuclear structures.
