Boltzmann sampling from the Ising model using quantum heating of coupled nonlinear oscillators

Abstract A network of Kerr-nonlinear parametric oscillators without dissipation has recently been proposed for solving combinatorial optimization problems via quantum adiabatic evolution through its bifurcation point. Here we investigate the behavior of the quantum bifurcation machine (QbM) in the p...
