Chip-scale wavelength-domain optical Ising machine

Xinyu Liu, Wenkai Zhang, Wenguang Xu +4 more

Ising problems are critical for a wide range of applications. Solving these problems on a photonic platform takes advantage of the unique properties of photons, such as high speed, low power consumption, and large bandwidth. Recently, there has been growing interest in using photonic platforms to accelerate the optimization of Ising models, paving the way for the development of ultrafast hardware in machine learning. However, these proposed systems face challenges in simultaneously achieving high spin scalability, encoding flexibility, and low system complexity. We propose a wavelength-domain optical Ising machine that utilizes optical signals at different wavelengths to represent distinct Ising spins for Ising simulation. We design and experimentally validate a chip-scale Ising machine capable of solving classical non-deterministic polynomial-time problems. The proposed Ising machine supports 32 spins and features 2 distinct coupling encoding schemes. Furthermore, we demonstrate the feasibility of scaling the system to 256 spins. This approach verifies the viability of performing Ising simulations in the wavelength dimension, offering substantial advantages in scalability. These advancements lay the groundwork for future large-scale expansion and practical applications in cloud computing.

A visible-light integrated photonic platform for atomic systems

Suraj Bramhavar, Cheryl M. Sorace-Agaskar, Dave Kharas +7 more

We demonstrate an integrated photonic platform for control of complex atomic systems. The platform includes multiple waveguide layers and a suite of passive photonic circuit components supporting a wavelength range from 370-1100 nm. In particular, we demonstrate a novel dual-layer vertical grating coupler used for efficiently directing visible light to precise positions above the chip surface. These circuits are compatible with traditional CMOS fabrication techniques and are well suited for improving the scalability of quantum information processing systems based on trapped-ion technology. A chip-scale waveguide platform at visible wavelengths could also prove useful in a variety of bio-photonic and sensing applications requiring precise light delivery or readout in a compact footprint.

Classical and quantum optics in photonics mesh lattice

Monika Monika

The growing demand for scalable and fault-tolerant platforms for classical and quantum information processing drives the search for integrated photonic systems tolerant of coherence constraints and architectural limitations. This thesis investigates the photonic mesh lattice (PML), a dynamically modulated, fiber-based architecture employing time-division multiplexing, as a robust and reconfigurable testbed for classical and quantum wave dynamics. The research addresses bottlenecks in existing technologies, such as reliance on bulky interferometric setups and lack of scalable architectures, by demonstrating a compact, fiber-loop-based system with dynamic coupling control. In the classical regime, the PML enables stable propagation of coherent light pulses over thousands of kilometers with minimal signal degradation. Losses are mitigated using optical amplifiers, while amplitude and phase modulation provide tunable control over signal dynamics. Results show the system supports long-distance propagation with high signal integrity, establishing the PML as a candidate for classical photonic networks and long-haul communication. In the quantum domain, the PML facilitates generation, manipulation, and interference of time-bin entangled photon pairs across multiple temporal dimensions. Dynamically reconfigurable coupling allows loophole-free quantum interference measurements and scalable quantum walks, enabling protocols such as quantum phase estimation, boson sampling, and high-dimensional entanglement processing. The fiber-based structure, compatible with telecom components, ensures economic viability and experimental accessibility. Beyond demonstrated applications, the PML opens doors to novel regimes, including simulation of synthetic gauge fields and optical trapping dynamics. This work contributes to unified optical platforms by integrating dynamic control, high-dimensional scalability, and robust signal processing in a compact architecture.
