{{Nuclear physics}}
In [[nuclear physics]], '''ab initio methods''' seek to describe the [[atomic nucleus]] from the ground up by solving the [[Schrödinger equation]] in terms of the individual [[nucleon|nucleons]] and the [[nuclear force|interactions between them]]. This is a more fundamental approach compared to e.g. the [[nuclear shell model]]. Previously limited to very light nuclei, recent progress has enabled ab initio treatment of heavier nuclei such as [[isotopes of nickel|nickel]].<ref name=navratil2016>{{cite journal|first1=P.|last1=Navrátil|first2=S.|last2=Quaglioni|first3=G.|last3=Hupin|first4=C.|last4=Romero-Redondo|first5=A.|last5=Calci|title=Unified ab initio approaches to nuclear structure and reactions|journal=Physica Scripta|volume=91|issue=5|pages=053002|year=2016|url=http://stacks.iop.org/1402-4896/91/i=5/a=053002|doi=10.1088/0031-8949/91/5/053002}}</ref>
