How does nuclear binding emerge from first principles? Our current best understanding of nuclear forces is based on a systematic low-energy expansion called chiral effective field theory. However, recent {\it ab initio} calculations of nuclear structure have found that not all chiral effective field theory interactions give accurate predictions with increasing nuclear density. In this letter we address the reason for this problem and the first steps toward a solution. Using nuclear lattice simulations, we deduce the minimal nuclear interaction that can reproduce the ground state properties of light nuclei, medium-mass nuclei, and neutron matter simultaneously with no more than a few percent error in the energies and charge radii. We find that only four parameters are needed. With these four parameters one can accurately describe neutron matter up to saturation density and the ground state properties of nuclei up to calcium. Given the absence of sign oscillations in these lattice Monte Carlo simulations and the mild scaling of computational effort scaling with nucleon number, this work provides a pathway to high-quality simulations in the future with as many as one or two hundred nucleons.

Jacobi Coordinates on Hyper-tori and Geometric Factors in the Volume Dependencies
The finite-volume energy shift of a clustered nucleus is the point-like two-body shift multiplied by a geometric factor that counts spin-isospin cluster partitions, and this factor is essential for extracting ANCs.

Medium-mass nuclei with neural quantum states
Pfaffian-Jastrow neural quantum states yield ground-state energies and charge radii for nuclei up to A=58, with weak p-wave terms reducing average energy error to ~3% while revealing Hamiltonian sensitivity and A^3 scaling.

Deformation effects on reaction observables of beryllium nuclei from ab initio densities
Using NLEFT intrinsic densities in a deformed Glauber model, deformation reduces the calculated 11Be reaction cross section by ~50 mb and reproduces the 10Be to 11Be halo step.

Impacts of isolated nucleon-nucleon correlations in relativistic $^{16}$O+$^{16}$O collisions
Applying rejection sampling to 16O configurations constrained by a Fermi density and a two-nucleon distance distribution reproduces the initial-state eccentricities and energy fluctuations of NLEFT and VMC ab-initio m...

Quantifying alpha clustering in the ground states of 16-O and 20-Ne
A sub-Coulomb alpha transfer measurement shows that the ground states of 16O and 20Ne have large alpha-cluster amplitudes, and provides a new constraint on the 16O alpha asymptotic normalization coefficient.

Hypernuclei with Neural Network Quantum States
Neural network quantum states, extended to include Lambda hyperons, reproduce hypernuclear separation energies to within roughly 9% and predict the observed proton-radius shrinkage in 7ΛLi.

Ab initio lattice study of neutron-alpha scattering with chiral forces at N3LO
A lattice calculation of neutron-helium-4 scattering with chiral forces at N3LO matches empirical phase shifts in the 2S1/2 and 2P3/2 channels but not the 2P1/2 channel, pointing to limitations in the three-nucleon force.

From bare two-nucleon interaction to nuclear matter and finite nuclei in a relativistic framework
A leading-order relativistic chiral two-nucleon force, with four constants fit to scattering data, describes nuclear matter saturation and medium-mass nuclei binding energies and radii without three-nucleon forces.
