Coherently-coupled optical systems with different types of couplings between coherent centres are promising platforms for optical simulations of spin glasses and, therefore, for optical optimization. Here, an experimental implementation of dissipative and dispersive couplings is realized between two photon Bose-Einstein condensates, extending the range of physical models that can be addressed with optical simulators.
