Optical polarization for ultrafast computing
Computing impacts every aspect of modern science and society. Von-Neumann computers are inefficient in addressing important combinatorial optimizations widespread from networks to artificial intelligence. Finding alternative paradigms to tackle these intractable problems is now vital as digital hardware approaches its ultimate performance limit. A promising strategy maps the optimization in spin models implemented on a physical setup that evolves as a spin system to the solution. This fascinating scheme has recently attracted huge interest, leading to various electronic and optical Ising machines that, however, remain challenging to scale and speed up. LOOP is an experimental proposal that…
