We present results for the binding energies for He-4 and He-3 nuclei calculated in quenched lattice QCD at the lattice spacing of a = 128 fm with a heavy quark mass corresponding to m(pi) = 0: 8 GeV. Enormous computational cost for the nucleus correlation functions is reduced by avoiding redundancy of equivalent contractions stemming from permutation symmetry of protons or neutrons in the nucleus and various other symmetries. To distinguish a bound state from an attractive scattering state, we investigate the volume dependence of the energy difference between the nucleus and the free multinucleon states by changing the spatial extent of the lattice from 3.1 to 12.3 fm. A finite energy difference left in the infinite spatial volume limit leads to the conclusion that the measured ground states are bounded. It is also encouraging that the measured binding energies and the experimental ones show the same order of magnitude.
