abstract
While first order perturbation theory is routinely used in quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) calculations, higher-order terms present significant numerical challenges. We present a new approach for computing perturbative corrections in projection QMC calculations. We demonstrate the method by computing nuclear ground state energies up to second order for a realistic chiral interaction. We calculate the binding energies of several light nuclei up to $^{16}$O by expanding the Hamiltonian around the Wigner SU(4) limit and find good agreement with data. In contrast to the natural ordering of the perturbative series, we find remarkably large second order energy corrections. This occurs because the perturbing interactions break the symmetries of the unperturbed Hamiltonian. Our method is free from the sign problem and can be applied to QMC calculations for many-body systems in nuclear physics, condensed matter physics, ultracold atoms, and quantum chemistry.

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.
