Recent progress on coherent computation based on quantum squeezing

Recent progress on coherent computation based on quantum squeezing Squeezed vacuum state of light is an important concept of quantum optics which has an uncertainty reduction in a specific quadrature compared to the coherent vacuum state. The coherent Ising machines (CIMs) based on the squeezed state are capable of searching the ground state of the Ising model, which can be used to solve combina‑ torial optimization problems and have been experimentally demonstrated to have excellent computational perfor‑ mance. This review introduces the recent progress of a CIM hardware solver based on optical parametric oscillators, including the delayed optical path scheme and a measurement feedback scheme. Also, the basic principles, unique advantages, and potential challenges are described. We expect that the applications of large‑ scale CIM hardware solv‑ ers will have a huge impact on the acceleration of the computation power.

Abstract

Squeezed vacuum state of light is an important concept of quantum optics which has an uncertainty reduction in a specific quadrature compared to the coherent vacuum state. The coherent Ising machines (CIMs) based on the squeezed state are capable of searching the ground state of the Ising model, which can be used to solve combina‑ torial optimization problems and have been experimentally demonstrated to have excellent computational perfor‑ mance. This review introduces the recent progress of a CIM hardware solver based on optical parametric oscillators, including the delayed optical path scheme and a measurement feedback scheme. Also, the basic principles, unique advantages, and potential challenges are described. We expect that the applications of large‑ scale CIM hardware solv‑ ers will have a huge impact on the acceleration of the computation power.
