"We have a very specific prediction, which until now didn't exist. Previous theories were always based on, 'Let's assume that this is happening, and if it's happening, then this probably is going to be seen.' We didn't do that. We simply put in the equations of motions known for many decades in nuclear physics with high precision, plus quantum mechanics, nothing else."
Published in PRL, a very good journal for this field. I'm surprised this type of simulations hadn't been done yet. Guess it was a matter of computational resources to properly account for many body physics.
