Quantum Monte Carlo calculations of neutron matter with non-local chiral interactions

Abstract

We present fully non-perturbative quantum Monte Carlo calculations with non-local chiral effective field theory (EFT) interactions for the ground state properties of neutron matter. The equation of state, the nucleon chemical potentials and the momentum distribution in pure neutron matter up to one and a half times the nuclear saturation density are computed with a newly optimized chiral EFT interaction at next-to-next-to-leading order. This work opens the way to systematic order by order benchmarking of chiral EFT interactions, and \emph{ab initio} prediction of nuclear properties while respecting the symmetries of quantum chromodynamics.
