A team of researchers at Queen's University has developed a powerful new kind of computing machine that uses light to take on ...

While it's no replacement for either computer, the new device is a powerful alternative for addressing some very practical ...

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

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 ...

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

(a) This diagram depicts fully connected neurons or spins, where each element interacts with every other. (b) Although each spin can only take one of two values, the activation function used to update ...

The Ising model in physics describes how subatomic particle spins interact and arrange themselves inside a magnetic material. Ising machines, derived from the model, are one example of the emerging ...

McGill and Queen's University researchers have built an improved version of a computer that uses light to solve extremely hard problems more quickly ...

A low-energy challenger to the quantum computer also works at room temperature. The researchers have shown that information can be transmitted using magnetic wave motion in complex networks. A ...

Researchers at the NTT Research Physics and Informatics (PHI) Lab and Tohoku University co-author paper outlining the capabilities of single photon Coherent Ising Machines (CIM). Paper reports ...

Researchers from the Department of Electrical Engineering at Tokyo University of Science in Japan have developed what “a novel approach” to combinatorial optimisation problems (COPs). COPs are ...
