Coherent Ising machines (CIMs) represent an innovative class of computing systems that leverage networks of coupled oscillators—often realised using optical, electronic or quantum circuits—to solve ...

(a) This diagram depicts fully connected neurons or spins, where each element interacts with every other. (b) Although each spin can only take one of two values, the activation function used to update ...

The Ising model in physics describes how subatomic particle spins interact and arrange themselves inside a magnetic material. Ising machines, derived from the model, are one example of the emerging ...

Researchers at the NTT Research Physics and Informatics (PHI) Lab and Tohoku University co-author paper outlining the capabilities of single photon Coherent Ising Machines (CIM). Paper reports ...

Quantum computers and Ising machines are useful for solving so-called combinatorial optimisation problems, where the aim is to produce the best guess rather than the exact answer to a problem. Many AI ...

Ising machines demonstrate significant potential to tackle computationally complex challenges, including combinatorial optimization problems related to logistics, manufacturing, finance, and AI. The ...

For about a decade, computer engineer Kerem Çamsari employed a novel approach known as probabilistic computing. Based on probabilistic bits (p-bits), it’s used to solve an array of complex ...

Probabilistic Ising machines (PIMs) are advanced and specialized computing systems that could tackle computationally hard problems, such as optimization or integer factorization tasks, more ...

SoftBank has turned to quantum computing in a bid to improve radio access network (RAN) performance by optimizing its base station settings. During tests in Tokyo, the Japanese giant employed an Ising ...

Researchers from the Department of Electrical Engineering at Tokyo University of Science in Japan have developed what “a novel approach” to combinatorial optimisation problems (COPs). COPs are ...
