Accelerating Continuous Variable Coherent Ising Machines via Momentum

Published:

We integrate Adam and momentume optimizers with the continuous variable Coherent Ising Machine (CV-CIM) dynamical solver. We show that both optimization techniques can improve the convergence speed and sample diversity of the CV-CIM, while Adam improves the stability of the resulting system

Exploiting Locality and Structure for Distributed Optimization in Multi-Agent Systems

Published in European Control Conference, 2020

We develop a rigorous measure of “locality” that relates the structural properties of a linearly-constrained convex optimization problem to the amount of information that agents should exchange to compute an arbitrarily high-quality approximation of its solution. We leverage the notion of locality to develop a locality-aware distributed optimization algorithm.

A Copositive Framework for Analysis of Hybrid Ising-Classical Algorithms

Published in SIAM Journal of Optimization, 2023

We present a formal analysis of hybrid algorithms in the context of solving mixed-binary quadratic programs (MBQP) via Ising solvers. We leverage copositive optimization and cutting-plane algorithms to derive an algorithm that provable shifts complexity onto the subroutine handled by the Ising solver.
