Performance analysis of classical adiabatic annealing on Ising machines
Jacob Lamers, Guy Verschaffelt, Guy Van der Sande
Ising machines are a promising approach to solve combinatorial optimization problems. They map these problems onto the Ising model and search for low-energy configurations. However…

How to Incorporate External Fields in Analog Ising Machines
Robbe De Prins, Jacob Lamers, Peter Bienstman +3
Ising machines (IMs) are specialized devices designed to efficiently solve combinatorial optimization problems (COPs). They consist of artificial spins that evolve towards a low-en…

Using continuation methods to analyse the difficulty of problems solved by Ising machines
Jacob Lamers, Guy Verschaffelt, Guy Van der Sande
Ising machines are dedicated hardware solvers of NP-hard optimization problems. However, they do not always find the most optimal solution. The probability of finding this optimal…
