Abstract
We discuss three elements of modern ab initio nuclear structure theory with an emphasis on the role of correlations in the nuclear many-body problem. Starting from the QCD-motivated construction of a realistic nuclear interaction we review two methods to derive phase-shift equivalent tamed interactions, the Unitary Correlation Operator Method and the Similarity Renormalization Group. Eventually we use these interactions for ab initio calculations within the importance truncated no-core shell model.
