The authors introduce a computational paradigm termed “entropy computing” to solve combinatorial optimization problems using an open quantum system, where engineered dissipations are employed to stabilize the system state to the ground state of a desired Hamiltonian and show that it can be realized on photonic hardware. Finally, they experimentally show its strong performance on max-cut related problems.
