Efficient sampling of ground and low-energy Ising spin configurations with a coherent Ising machine

We show that the nonlinear stochastic dynamics of a measurement-feedback-based coherent Ising machine (MFB-CIM) in the presence of quantum noise can be exploited to sample degenerate ground and low-energy spin configurations of the Ising model. We formulate a general discrete-time Gaussian-state mod...
