The main aim of the course is to provide an introduction to state-of-the-art theoretical approaches to describe nuclear systems composed of few baryons. Particular emphasis will be placed on employing modern systematical methods based on so-called ab initio computational techniques to solve the Schrödinger equation with realistic Hamiltonians derived from effective quantum field theories. The lecture is suitable for more advanced and doctoral students of Nuclear and Particle or Theoretical Physics. Basic knowledge of quantum mechanics and quantum field theory is necessary.
