Abstract

We present an experimental scheme of implementing multiple spins in a classical XY model using a non-degenerate optical parametric oscillator (NOPO) network. We built an NOPO network to simulate a one-dimensional XY Hamiltonian with 5000 spins and externally controllable effective temperatures. The XY spin variables in our scheme are mapped onto the phases of multiple NOPO pulses in a single ring cavity and interactions between XY spins are implemented by mutual injections between NOPOs. We show the steady-state distribution of optical phases of such NOPO pulses is equivalent to the Boltzmann distribution of the corresponding XY model. Estimated effective temperatures converged to the setting values, and the estimated temperatures and the mean energy exhibited good agreement with the numerical simulations of the Langevin dynamics of NOPO phases.

10-GHz-clock time-multiplexed non-degenerate optical parametric oscillator network with a variable planar lightwave circuit interferometer

Yuya Yonezu, Kensuke Inaba, Yasuhiro Yamada +4 more

A coherent XY machine (CXYM) is a physical spin simulator that can simulate the XY model by mapping XY spins onto the continuous phases of non-degenerate optical parametric oscillators (NOPOs). Here, we demonstrated a large-scale CXYM with >47,000 spins by generating 10-GHz-clock time-multiplexed NOPO pulses via four-wave mixing in a highly nonlinear fiber inside a fiber ring cavity. By implementing a unidirectional coupling from the ith pulse to the (i + 1)th pulse with a variable 1-pulse delay planar lightwave circuit interferometer, we successfully controlled the effective temperature of a one-dimensional XY spin network within two orders of magnitude.

Combinatorial optimization with a network of degenerated optical parametric oscillators

Takahiro Inagaki, Kensuke Inaba, Toshimori Honjo +4 more

Various artificial spin systems with networked physical devices are now emerging as a way to simulate the Ising model. Combinatorial optimization problems for many applications can be mapped onto ground state search problems of the Ising model and solved efficiently with the artificial spin system. Here, we report a coherent Ising machine based on 2,048 networked degenerate optical parametric oscillators. All-to-all couplings were achieved with a measurement and feedback scheme to implement arbitrary graph structures with up to 2,048 nodes. The coherent Ising machine can simulate large-scale Ising model and obtain good solutions for the optimization of a 2,000-node complete graph.

Steady-state squeezing and entanglement in a dissipatively coupled NOPO network

Inui, Yoshitaka, Y. Yamamoto

We investigate the steady-state photon-number squeezing and quantum entanglement in a network of nondegenerate optical parametric oscillators (NOPOs). We treat each NOPO with Shen's Raman laser model, whose lasing mode provides a photon-number-squeezed state. Two dissipatively coupled NOPOs satisfy Hillery-Zubairy's $HZ1$ entanglement criterion if they are pumped far above the threshold and the dissipative coupling is sufficiently larger than the NOPO cavity loss.

Quantum analysis and experimental investigation of the nondegenerate optical parametric oscillator with unequally injected signal and idler

Ning Wang, Yongmin Li

We developed a quantum analysis of the nondegenerate optical parametric oscillator (NOPO) with unequally injected signal and idler. Both the steady-state output field and the two-mode quantum correlation spectrum are investigated under the condition of different injected idler-to-signal ratios (ISRs) and the relative phase between the pump and the injected seed. It is found that when the seed is injected through the output coupler, the NOPO allows for the robust generation of two-mode quantum entanglement even if the relative phase is free running and the ISR is as high as 0.7. At the specific relative phase of zero, a high degree of entanglement can exist across a whole range of ISRs. An experimental study of the NOPO with unequal seeds is presented, and the observed results verify the theoretical predictions.
