A Spin Hall Ising Machine
arXiv:2006.02236
Abstract
Ising Machines (IMs) are physical systems designed to find solutions to combinatorial optimization (CO) problems mapped onto the IM via the coupling strengths of its binary spins. Using the intrinsic dynamics and different annealing schemes, the IM relaxes over time to its lowest energy state, which is the solution to the CO problem. IMs have been implemented in quantum, optical, and electronic hardware. One promising approach uses interacting nonlinear oscillators whose phases have been binarized through injection locking at twice their natural frequency. Here we demonstrate such Oscillator IMs using nano-constriction spin Hall nano-oscillator (SHNO) arrays. We show how the SHNO arrays can be readily phase binarized and how the resulting microwave power corresponds to well-defined global phase states. To distinguish between degenerate states we use phase-resolved Brillouin Light Scattering (BLS) microscopy to directly observe the individual phase of each nano-constriction.
