Starting from our current understanding of the underlying forces, it presents recent advances within the field of lattice quantum chromodynamics before going on to discuss effective field theories, central many-body methods like Monte Carlo methods, coupled cluster theories, the similarity renormalization group approach, Green’s function methods and large-scale diagonalization approaches. Algorithmic and computational advances show particular promise for breakthroughs in predictive power, including proper error estimates, a better understanding of the underlying effective degrees of freedom and of the respective forces at play. Enabled by recent improvements in theoretical, experimental and numerical techniques, the state-of-the art applications considered in this volume span the entire range, from our smallest components – quarks and gluons as the mediators of the strong force – to the computation of the equation of state for neutron star matter. The lectures presented provide an in-depth exposition of the underlying theoretical and algorithmic approaches as well details of the numerical implementation of the methods discussed. Several also include links to numerical software and benchmark calculations, which readers can use to develop their own programs for tackling challenging nuclear many-body problems.Lecture Notes in Physics,0075-8450 ;936Nuclear physicsHeavy ionsPhysicsAstrophysicsElementary particles (Physics)Quantum field theoryNuclear Physics, Heavy Ions, Hadronshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P23010Numerical and Computational Physics, Simulationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19021Astrophysics and Astroparticleshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22022Elementary Particles, Quantum Field Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P23029Nuclear physics.Heavy ions.Physics.Astrophysics.Elementary particles (Physics).Quantum field theory.Nuclear Physics, Heavy Ions, Hadrons.Numerical and Computational Physics, Simulation.Astrophysics and Astroparticles.Elementary Particles, Quantum Field Theory.539.7Hjorth-Jensen Mortenedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtLombardo Maria Paolaedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtvan Kolck Ubirajaraedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910250049203321An Advanced Course in Computational Nuclear Physics2182314UNINA
