Order-of-magnitude differences in computational performance of analog Ising machines induced by the choice of nonlinearity

Analog Ising machines are promising fast computing schemes for some difficult optimization problems, yet their analog nature is known to cause errors and inhibit computational performance. Here, the authors investigate how the choice of nonlinear transfer functions partly suppresses errors caused by...

Order-of-magnitude differences in computational performance of analog Ising machines induced by the choice of nonlinearity
description Analog Ising machines are promising fast computing schemes for some difficult optimization problems, yet their analog nature is known to cause errors and inhibit computational performance. Here, the authors investigate how the choice of nonlinear transfer functions partly suppresses errors caused by analog amplitude inhomogeneity, which leads to order-of-magnitude differences in the computation time.
