Description
Our understanding of the physics of baryonic systems containing strangeness is limited by the scarcity of experimental data. Aiming at alleviating this deficit is lattice QCD, a numerical approach to solve the complex dynamics of strongly interacting systems of hadrons and nuclei. In this talk I will present the results obtained by the NPLQCD collaboration for two octet-baryon systems, with strangeness ranging from 0 to -4, with findings that point to interesting symmetries observed in hypernuclear forces as predicted in the limit of QCD with a large number of colors, and also recent results from a variational study using a wide range of interpolating operators.
