The Coherent Ising Machine (CIM) being developed by NTT Research is a hybrid classical and quantum machine based on photonic circuits. It uses a network of optical parametric oscillators (OPOs) programmed to solve problems that have been mapped to an Ising model, a mathematical abstraction of magnetic systems composed of competitively interacting spins or angular […]
