Abstract

The challenge posted by modern science is to find a way to compute the NP-hard problem. Here we present a coherent computation model based on the whispering-gallery mode micro-resonators. We introduce the optically connected micro-resonators array to simulate the dynamical evolution of the Ising model with full connection while the mode chirality of the micro-resonators works as the spins of each node in the Ising model. The relaxation time, the steady state distribution, and the mode connection of the Ising spin chain are simulated with the proposed optical system. Moreover, it is found that the current scheme could be used for searching the full solutions of the corresponding Ising problem. Numerical results show that the time required is constant time. Our approach achieves high accuracy and fast computation in the realization of unconventional optimization hardware.
