Looking for efficient methods to embed optimisation problems onto neutral atom arrays? We present and experimentally demonstrate a new approach using weighted quantum wires to enable native mapping of sparse MWIS and QUBO graph problems arxiv.org/abs/2503.17115

A schematic showing a 5-vertex weighted graph problem being mapped onto a neutral atom array with local light shifts resulting in the output state encoding the solution.

Our new paper demonstrating weighted graph optimisation using neutral atom arrays is now published in PRX Quantum doi.org/10.1103/PRXQ...
