Abstract: In order to address an issue that an unsolved problem is caused in a conventional coherent Ising machine in which a term, which expresses a magnetic field at each site, is not able to be implemented, the present invention provides an Ising model calculation device comprising a push-pull-type optical modulator in which a role corresponding to “a local magnetic field” can be implemented by adjusting an operation point. The calculation device of the present disclosure is characterized by implementing an item, which expresses a magnetic field, at each site by adding, to the conventional coherent Ising machine, a function for simulating the magnetic field item. Specifically, light having the amplitude of a predetermined sign is input in the conventional coherent Ising machine by dislocating an operation point of the push-pull-type optical modulator.

Abstract: In an Ising spin measuring step, measurement is suspended after one set of measurement of all Ising spins {?i} is completed before another set of measurement of all Ising spins {?i} is restarted. In an Ising interaction computing step, all Ising interactions relating to all the Ising spins ?i can be computed with a sufficient time margin on the basis of most recent measurement of Ising spins ?i, after one set of measurement of all the Ising spins {?i} is completed before another set of measurement of all the Ising spins {?i} is restarted by the Ising spin measuring step.

Abstract: This computation device and method exponentially shortens a computation time of an NP-complete problem or the like mapped into an Ising model by exponentially shortening a computation time of the Ising mode. For each pair of a plurality of slave lasers, by controlling the intensity, the polarization, and the phase of light exchanged between two slave lasers using an attenuator and a wave plate, the magnitude and the sign of pseudo Ising interaction between two slave lasers are implemented. Then, after the plurality of slave lasers arrive at a steady state, by measuring the polarization of light generated by each slave laser with left-handed circular polarization and right-handed circular polarization used as bases, a pseudo spin of each slave laser is measured.
