Few nucleon systems provide a unique testing ground for nuclear forces. We present auxiliary-field diffusion Monte Carlo simulations of the two-neutron system in finite volume with chiral effective field theory potentials. Both ground-state and excited-state energies in the S-wave channel are compared to results from the Lüscher formula, which provides exact solutions based on scattering data. Future calculations of few-body systems will help to constrain many-body forces, which are crucial for the description of nuclei and nuclear matter, and allow for comparisons with lattice QCD calculations that have approached the physical parameter space in the last years.
