Programmable Probabilistic Computer with 1,000,000 p-bits

Navid Anjum Aadit, Xiuqi Zhang, Shuvro Chowdhury +10

Probabilistic computers built from p-bits have been proposed as hardware accelerators for sampling and optimizing Ising models, but existing systems have been confined to a single…

Probabilistic Computers for Neural Quantum States

Shuvro Chowdhury, Jasper Pieterse, Navid Anjum Aadit +3

Neural quantum states efficiently represent many-body wavefunctions with neural networks, but the cost of Monte Carlo sampling limits their scaling to large system sizes. Here we a…

Generalized Probabilistic Approximate Optimization Algorithm

Abdelrahman S. Abdelrahman, Shuvro Chowdhury, Flaviano Morone +1

We introduce a generalized \textit{Probabilistic Approximate Optimization Algorithm (PAOA)}, a classical variational Monte Carlo framework that extends and formalizes prior work by…

IsingFormer: Augmenting Parallel Tempering With Learned Proposals

Saleh Bunaiyan, Corentin Delacour, Shuvro Chowdhury +2

Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) underlies both statistical physics and combinatorial optimization, but mixes slowly near critical points and in rough landscapes. Parallel Tempering…
