  A new method to study nuclear physics via holographic QCD is proposed.
Multiple baryons in the Sakai-Sugimoto background are described by a matrix
model which is a low energy effective theory of D-branes of the baryon
vertices. We study the quantum mechanics of the matrix model and calculate the
eigenstates of the Hamiltonian. The obtained states are found to coincide with
known nuclear and baryonic states, and have appropriate statistics and charges.
Calculated spectra of the baryon/nucleus for small baryon numbers show good
agreement with experimental data. For hyperons, the Gell-Mann--Okubo formula is
approximately derived. Baryon resonances up to spin $5/2$ and isospin $5/2$ and
dibaryon spectra are obtained and compared with experimental data. The model
partially explains even the magic numbers of light nuclei, $N=2,8$ and $20$.
