Beschreibung
Understanding nuclei is a quantum many-body problem of incredible
richness and diversity and studies of nuclei address some of the great
challenges that are common throughout modern science. Nuclear structure
research strives to build a unified and comprehensive microscopic
framework in which bulk nuclear properties, nuclear excitations, and
nuclear reactions can all be described. A new and exciting focus in this
endeavor lies in the description of exotic and short lived nuclei. The
extreme proton-to-neutron asymmetry of these nuclei isolates and
amplifies important features of nuclear many-body open quantum systems.
In this talk, theoretical advances in rare isotope research will be
reviewed in the context of the main scientific questions. Particular
attention will bo given to the progress in theoretical studies of nuclei
due to the advent of terascale computing platforms.
