Cosm: Collective Switched Motion for Fast and Accurate Sparse Ising Optimization
Kenneth M. Zick, Nikhil Shukla, Alexander Marakov
We introduce Collective Switched Motion (Cosm), a dynamical system-based heuristic algorithm. Cosm combines locally interacting continuous circular variables with novel global coor…

Performance report of heuristic algorithm that cracked the largest Gset Ising problems (G81 cut=14060)
Kenneth M. Zick
For the past 25 years, the Gset benchmark problems have challenged all manner of Ising and Max-Cut solvers. The largest of these problems have remained unsolved by any heuristic al…

Dissipative Landau-Zener tunneling in the crossover regime from weak to strong environment coupling
X. Dai, R. Trappen, H. Chen +22
Landau-Zener tunneling, which describes the transition in a two-level system during a sweep through an anti-crossing, is a model applicable to a wide range of physical phenomena. R…
