For decades, the solution to harder problems has been ‘build a bigger computer’— but ...

Published in Nature, the study details the first large-scale demonstration of a photonic Ising machine operating without the ...

The processing power of standard computers is expected to reach its maximum in the next 10 to 25 years. But even at this maximum power, computers in their current form won't be able to handle certain ...

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 ...

In a rapidly developing world, industries are always trying to optimize their operations and resources. Combinatorial optimization using an Ising machine helps solve certain operational problems, like ...

NTT Research has announced that it is to collaborate with Stanford University on a U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded initiative. This is to looks at Coherent Ising Machines (CIMs), devices ...

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 ...
