*Light-Nuclei Spectra from Chiral Dynamics*

In recent years local chiral interactions have been derived and 
implemented in quantum Monte Carlo
methods for nuclear physics to test to what extent chiral effective 
field theory framework impacts our
knowledge of few- and many-body systems. We present quantum Monte Carlo 
calculations of light nuclei
based on local chiral two-nucleon interactions constructed by our group 
in a previous work in conjunction
with a chiral three-nucleon force fitted to bound- and scattering-state 
observables in the three-body sector.
These results lead to predictions for the energy levels and level 
ordering of nuclei in the mass range A = 4-12,
accurate to <=  2% of the binding energy, in very satisfactory agreement 
with experimental data.
