Résumé
Nuclei, the self-bound building blocks of the universe, are held together by forces that remain a central challenge in nuclear physics. Fermionic neural quantum states (NQS) enable first-principles studies of these interactions. I will highlight recent NQS advances for strongly interacting continuous-space systems where short-ranged attractive forces dominate, including diffusion Monte Carlo simulations built on NQS-optimized nodal surfaces in ultracold Fermi gases, as well as new predictions for nuclear matter and finite nuclei.
