Benchmarking the coherent Ising machine and D-Wave quantum annealer sheds light on importance of connectivity.
Computers based on physical systems are increasingly anticipated to overcome the impending limitations digital computer performance.

Terahertz (THz)-bandwidth continuous-wave (CW) squeezed light is essential for integrating quantum processors with time-domain multiplexing (TDM) by using optical delay line interferometers. Here, we utilize a single-pass parametric amplifier (OPA) based on single-spatial-mode periodically poled ZnO:LiNbO3 waveguide, which directly bonded onto LiTaO3 substrate. The OPA allows THz bandwidth, and the absence of higher-order spatial modes in structure helps avoid degradation squeezing. In...
