Résumé |
Nuclear physics is connected to many different areas of physics, spanning arcs from particle
physics all the way to astronomy. A solid understanding of nuclear systems from first
principles, that is, based on Quantum Chromodynamics as the fundamental theory of the
strong interaction, is therefore of great importance. In this talk I will present an overview of
how to address this challenge using simulations of nuclear systems in finite volume. This
approach, which is in fact not limited to nuclear physics, is based on the observation that the
real-world properties of quantum systems are encoded in how their discrete energy levels
change when the size of the simulation volume is varied, thus providing a powerful
theoretical tool. |
