Noise correlation and success probability in coherent Ising machines

Abstract: We compared the noise correlation and the success probability of coherent Ising machines (CIMs) with optical delay-line, measurement feedback, and mean-field couplings. We theoretically studied three metrics for the noise correlations in these CIMs: quantum entanglement, quantum discord, and normalized correlation of canonical coordinates. The success probability was obtained through numerical simulations of truncated stochastic differential equations based on the Wigner distribution function. The results indicate that the success probability is more directly related to the normalized correlation function rather than entanglement or quantum discord.
