Engineers at Toshiba and MIRISE report embedding a quantum-inspired optimization system directly onto a mobile robot, ...

The Ising model remains a cornerstone in the study of statistical mechanics, providing a simple yet profound framework for understanding cooperative phenomena and criticality in physical systems. By ...

In one sense, it looks like a fairly straightforward bank run, but the extraordinary bailout announced directly after suggests that the risk was systemic. Whether that was all the VCs shouting ...

Ising machines demonstrate significant potential to tackle computationally complex challenges, including combinatorial optimization problems related to logistics, manufacturing, finance, and AI. The ...

The central selling point of qubit-based quantum processors is that they can supposedly solve certain types of tasks much faster than a classical computer. This comes however with the major ...

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 ...

Combinatorial optimization problems are at the root of many industrial processes and solving them is key to a more sustainable and efficient future. Ising machines can solve certain combinatorial ...

Simulated low temperature (left) and high temperature (right) phase of a 2D Ising model, where blue points are spins pointing up, and the red points are spins pointing down. Notice that the spins in ...
