Speed-up coherent Ising machine with a spiking neural network

Bo Lü, Chen‐Rui Fan, Lu Liu +2 more

Coherent Ising machine (CIM) is a hardware solver that simulates the Ising model and finds optimal solutions to combinatorial optimization problems. However, for practical tasks, the computational process may be trapped in local minima, which is a key challenge for CIM. In this work, we design a CIM structure with a spiking neural network by adding dissipative pulses, which are anti-symmetrically coupled to the degenerate optical parametric oscillator pulses in CIM with a measurement feedback system. We find that the unstable oscillatory region of the spiking neural network could assist the CIM to escape from the trapped local minima. Moreover, we show that the machine has a different search mechanism than CIM, which can achieve a higher solution success probability and speed-up effect.

Control of amplitude homogeneity in coherent Ising machines with artificial Zeeman terms

Yoshitaka Inui, Mastiyage Don Sudeera Hasaranga Gunathilaka, Satoshi Kako +2 more

Abstract A coherent Ising machine (CIM) is an open-dissipative Ising solver using optical pulses generated from a degenerate optical parametric oscillator as analog magnetizations. When solving real-world optimization problems with CIM, this solver has two difficulties: mutual coupling induced amplitude inhomogeneity and absence of natural way to implement Zeeman terms. For the approximate Gaussian formulation of CIMs with amplitude control feedback, we add artificial Zeemam terms using the target amplitude information. Here we show, for 16-spin CIM with Zeeman terms, the amplitude control increases the performance, particularly when Zeeman terms are competing against mutual coupling coefficients.
