Recently, we have proposed a new heuristic algorithm for combinatorial optimization inspired by our proposed quantum computer. We named the algorithm “simulated bifurcation (SB) algorithm,” because it is based on the numerical simulation of nonlinear Hamiltonian systems exhibiting bifurcations. Here we present the principle, performance, and applications of our SB machine.
