ABSTRACT=Recent progress in the numerical resolution of the nuclear many-body problem and in the
development of nuclear Hamiltonians rooted in Quantum Chromodynamics, have opened the
door to first-principles computation of nuclear reactions. In this article, we discuss the current
status of ab initio calculations of nucleon-nucleus optical potential for medium-mass systems,
with a focus on results obtained with the coupled-cluster method.
