Ab initio calculations play an essential role in our fundamental understanding of quantum many-body systems across many subfields, from strongly correlated fermions to quantum chemistry and from atomic and molecular systems to nuclear physics. One of the primary challenges is to perform accurate calculations for systems where the interactions may be complicated and difficult for the chosen computational method to handle. Here we address the problem by introducing a new approach called wavefunction matching. Wavefunction matching transforms the interaction between particles so that the wavefunctions up to some finite range match that of an easily computable interaction. This allows for calculations of systems that would otherwise be impossible due to problems such as Monte Carlo sign cancellations. We apply the method to lattice Monte Carlo simulations of light nuclei, medium-mass nuclei, neutron matter, and nuclear matter. We use high-fidelity chiral effective field theory interactions and find good agreement with empirical data. These results are accompanied by new insights on the nuclear interactions that may help to resolve long-standing challenges in accurately reproducing nuclear binding energies, charge radii, and nuclear matter saturation in ab initio calculations.

  1. Nuclear Charge Radius of $^9$Be from Muonic Atom Spectroscopy Using a Microcalorimeter

    nucl-ex 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Muonic X-ray spectroscopy with a microcalorimeter yields r_c(9Be)=2.5506(51) fm, 2.4× more precise than and 2.3σ above the electron-scattering value.

  2. Jacobi Coordinates on Hyper-tori and Geometric Factors in the Volume Dependencies

    nucl-th 2025-11 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    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.

  3. Lattice calculation of the Sn isotopes near the proton dripline

    nucl-th 2025-09 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    First high-fidelity lattice calculations of 99-102Sn reach percent-level agreement with measured binding energies, confirm the N=50 shell closure, and find 99Sn less bound than extrapolations from heavier tin isotopes.

  4. Deformation effects on reaction observables of beryllium nuclei from ab initio densities

    nucl-th 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    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.

  5. Ab initio lattice study of neutron-alpha scattering with chiral forces at N3LO

    nucl-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    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.

  6. From bare two-nucleon interaction to nuclear matter and finite nuclei in a relativistic framework

    nucl-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    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.

  7. Nuclear Physics Confronts Relativistic Collisions Of Isobars

    nucl-ex 2025-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    RHIC isobar data are explained by different shapes of 96Ru and 96Zr, with 96Zr showing a large octupole deformation, so nuclear structure uncertainty, not the magnetic field, dominates the observed ratios.
