The central selling point of qubit-based quantum processors is that they can supposedly solve certain types of tasks much faster than a classical computer. This comes however with the major ...

Quantum annealers are devices that physically implement a quantum system called the 'Ising model' to solve combinatorial optimization problems. However, the coefficients of the Ising model often ...

Combinatorial optimization problems are at the root of many industrial processes and solving them is key to a more sustainable and efficient future. Ising machines can solve certain combinatorial ...

This is the last in a series of three papers on the history of the Lenz-Ising model from 1920 to the early 1970s. In the first paper, I studied the invention of the model in the 1920s, while in the ...

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 ...
