Abstract

Coherent Ising Machines (CIMs) have emerged as a hybrid form of quantum computing devices designed to solve NP-complete problems, offering an exciting opportunity for discovering optimal solutions. Despite challenges such as susceptibility to noise-induced local minima, we achieved notable advantages in improving the computational accuracy and stability of CIMs. We conducted a successful experimental demonstration of CIM via femto-second laser pumping that integrates optimization strategies across optical and structural dimensions, resulting in significant performance enhancements. The results are particularly promising. An average success rate of 55% was achieved to identify optimal solutions within a Mobius Ladder graph comprising 100 vertices. Compared with other alternatives, the femto-second pulse results in significantly higher peak power, leading to more pronounced quantum effects and lower pump power in optical fiber based CIMs. In addition, we have maintained an impressive success rate for a continuous period of 8 hours, emphasizing the practical applicability of CIMs in real-world scenarios. Furthermore, our research extends to the application of these principles in practical applications such as molecular docking and credit scoring. The results presented substantiate the theoretical promise of CIMs, paving the way for their integration into large-scale practical applications.

Performance Dependence of Optical-Loop-Based Coherent Ising Machine on Operating Conditions

Kyo Inoue, Shogo Kitahara, Koji Igarashi

Coherent Ising machines (CIMs) are optical computers designed to solve combinatorial optimization problems based on the Ising model. Among several variants, the optical-loop-based CIM, which utilizes optical pulses with binary phases circulating in a loop equipped with a pulse-pumped phase-sensitive amplifier (PSA) and a measurement feedback circuit, has experimentally demonstrated high performance in terms of the number of pulses and connectivity. This study numerically investigates the dependence of its calculation performance on operating conditions such as the noise level, coupling strength between pulses, and PSA pump increment rate. The CIM solving Max-Cut problems is simulated using a difference equation based on a traveling-wave model under various operating conditions. The results indicate that noise is not a critical factor, there is an optimal condition for the coupling strength, depending on the graph structure, and slower pump-increment rate leads to higher scores. Under optimal conditions, the simulation produces better calculation results than those previously reported in an experimental study.

Practical Quantum CIM Empowerment via All-Domestic-Core Agentic Large Model

Wang Rui, Lu Diannan

Quantum computing devices are recognized as powerful tools for solving NP-complete problems. However, the intricacy of their modeling presents notable barriers for non-specialists, while the tedious iteration of constraint weights and modeling methodologies also consumes substantial effort on the part of experts. To address these challenges, this study integrates a femtosecond laser-pumped Coherent Ising Machine (CIM) with an LLM-driven agentic system by leveraging the LangGraph and LangChain frameworks. Comprehensive investigations demonstrate that large language models (LLMs) can effectively perform such tasks in modeling as QUBO/Ising model calibration, constraint weight decision iteration and rapid validation of literature-reported schemes. Notably, all these tasks can be fully implemented based on domestic large models, combined with domestically developed CIM hardware, we truly achieve the practical empowerment of quantum CIM that fully relies on all-domestic agentic large models and hardware. This work successfully realizes robust technological integration, laying a solid foundation for subsequent research. Nevertheless, it also identifies the persisting challenges in the two cutting-edge fields of large models and quantum computing at the current stage. Encouragingly, we unexpectedly discover a promising new paradigm where accumulated knowledge from agent-assisted quantum computing iterations reciprocally enhances the agent's own problem-solving capability, thereby addressing these challenges.

Coherent Ising machines: models for architectures and applications

Edwin Ng, Tatsuhiro Onodera, Ryotatsu Yanagimoto +3 more

Coherent Ising machines (CIMs) are an experimentally promising class of physics-based computational architectures that embed hard combinatorial optimization problems into systems of coupled nonlinear optical oscillators. The solution-finding mechanisms employed by CIMs feature complicated dynamical bifurcations occurring on a network scale, posing significant challenges to the development of theory and models for their underlying principles of operation. These difficulties are especially pronounced in the ultra-low-power or quantum regimes where the benefits in computational efficiency over conventional optimization algorithms are expected to be largest. We discuss some of our recent approaches and results at this intersection of dynamical systems theory and quantum model reduction, which have highlighted some potentially useful architectures and applications on the horizon for CIMs.

A Comparative Study of Coherent Ising Machine Architectures Through a Unified Simulation Model

Vidisha Singhal, Peter A. Bermel

Coherent Ising Machines (CIMs) have emerged as promising hardware solvers for NP-hard combinatorial optimization problems, potentially offering energy-efficiency, accuracy, speed, and scalability. These problems span applications including scheduling, routing, resource allocation, and machine learning. Spin amplitude inhomogeneity (an artifact of its analog nature) can hinder CIM convergence to the ground state. Several CIM modifications have been proposed to address this issue. However, no prior work has systematically compared the performance of these concepts. This paper presents the first side-by-side evaluation of six promising CIM architectures using a unified simulation model. We develop stochastic differential equations, find optimal hyperparameters via Bayesian optimization per problem-architecture pair, and assess the performance on multiple metrics using MaxCut instances from the Gset and BiqMac datasets. CIM-SNN outperforms the rest on most metrics, with a 54.21% average success probability (SP) improvement and 1.36× less time-to-solution (TTS) at 96% GS energy compared to the Standard CIM on BiqMac graphs. Other CIMs show some advantages on certain Gset graphs. CIM-QA is usually the worst-performing, with an 18.55% average SP loss and a 1.30× higher TTS at 96% GS compared to the Standard CIM on BiqMac graphs. CIM-SNN demonstrates the greatest noise robustness and promise for further tuning via a linear pump schedule. CIM-QA benefits from high noise levels. This study makes two key contributions: (1) identifying promising CIM architectures to guide targeted research and accelerate practical adoption, and (2) providing a unified framework for evaluating future architectural modifications against existing ones.
