Abstract

The current status of efforts to calculate double beta decay matrix elements is summarized. Particular focus is put on the two most popular theoretical approaches in use for such calculations, the nuclear shell model and the proton-neutron Quasi Particle Random Phase Approximation. Some brief comments regarding double beta decay to excited states are also made.
