Abstract

Computer technology is experiencing a shift as physical computing systems are becoming more sought after due to their ability to overcome limitations found in digital systems. The Ising machine is one such computing system with interest driven by its ability to solve combinatorial optimisation problems efficiently. Here we propose a novel Ising machine based on spontaneous symmetry-breaking in a Kerr optical resonator with an opto-electronic feedback mechanism. We will present numerical results demonstrating that our system may have inherent advantages over existing implementations due to the underlying symmetry-breaking mechanism.
