Uncertainty quantification is a key aspect in modern nuclear theory. Nuclear Hamiltonians are uncertain, with the uncertainty residing in the low-energy constants (LECs) parametrizing the interactions. As these parameter-dependent interactions are used as input for nuclear structure calculations, distributions of many-body observables can be inferred from distributions of LECs. We deploy the singular value decomposition (SVD) to recover a linear operator basis for our interactions. We use Bayesian methods to infer distributions for the LECs from the theoretical uncertainties in nucleon-nucleon phase shifts. We then sample from the LEC posteriors to obtain distributions for the ground-state energies of 3H and 16O.
