Quantum Enhanced Coherent Ising Machines Accelerated by NTT Research
NTT Research and Tohoku University have launched a collaboration to accelerate quantum enhanced Coherent Ising Machines (CIM) on high-performance computing platforms. Their paper in Quantum Science and Technology reveals that single-photon CIMs outperform conventional models, converting fragile quantum entanglement into strong classical correlations. The teams will next optimize kernels, scale to 100 million spins, and pursue a physical implementation of Cyber CIM for industrial optimization.
At The Qubit Report, our mission is to promote knowledge and opinion of quantum computing from the casual reader to the scientifically astute. Because Quantum is Coming.
