Title:     Quantum Monte Carlo studies of nuclear systems with chiral effective field theory interactions

Abstract: A major goal of nuclear theory is to explain the wealth of data and peculiarities exhibited by nuclear systems in a fully microscopic approach. In such an approach, which we refer to as the basic model of nuclear theory, the nucleons interact with each other via two- and many-body effective interactions, and with external electroweak probes via effective current operators. These effective interactions and currents are the main inputs to ab-initio methods that are aimed at solving the many-body Schroedinger equation associated with the nuclear system under consideration. In this talk, I will review recent progress in Quantum Monte Carlo calculations of low-lying spectra and electroweak properties of light nuclei and nucleonic matter equation of state. Emphasis will be placed on calculations based on chiral effective field theory approach.
