Thermodynamic computing devices based on the Ising model show great promise for low-power AI inference and edge computing, but scalable methods for training large models for such hardware remain limited. Prior theory shows that the time-averaged behavior of high-temperature Gibbs-sampled Ising systems can implement feed-forward neural inference.
arXiv:2606. 09117v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While Ising machines serve as advanced physical solvers for the Ising model,enabling applications in combinatorial optimization and neural network training,their scalability for large-scale neural networks remains constrained by hardware connectivity limitations and suboptimal training methodologies.

Energy-Based Models (EBMs) provide an interpretable framework for generative modeling of scientific data, but poor Markov Chain Monte Carlo mixing often limits their reliability. We introduce a training algorithm based on Parallel Trajectory Tempering (PTT), which exploits the continuity of the optimization path to maintain equilibrium sampling throughout learning.

arXiv:2607. 03039v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Neural networks are increasingly used to infer hidden physical structure from dynamical observations, yet it remains unclear whether their out-of-distribution performance reflects transferable physical rule learning.
