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.
