QUBITECH’s partners, Dr Alexis Askitopoulos and Dr Simos Tsintzos, participate at the kick-off meeting, hosted by the University of Cyprus at its campus in Nicosia (February 21, 2023), of the HoloCIM action funded under the CO-DEVELOP programme – that is part of the Research and Innovation Foundation‘s RESTART Programmes for Research, Technological Development and Innovation of the Republic of Cyprus. The 24-month HoloCIM project, spanning the period February 2023 – January 2025, proposes a holography based photonic Ising Machine that utilizes and enhances newly established holographic and nonlinear photonics principles for the efficient solution of combinatorial optimization problems (COPs). The latter cannot be efficiently solved with modern digital computer architectures. HoloCIM aims to create an online user interface to be scientifically and commercially used from interested parties such as research institutions, academia, and industry.
