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

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

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.
