Researchers at Swinburne University of Technology have released open-source Monte Carlo wave-function simulation codes that enable the analysis of coherent Ising machines in high-dimensional Hilbert spaces exceeding 10^7 dimensions. This approach overcomes computational bottlenecks associated with master equation methods and avoids inaccuracies from Gaussian approximations, providing a robust framework for studying non-Gaussian quantum states in optimization problems. The availability of these codes via Harvard Dataverse significantly enhances reproducibility and allows the broader community to explore the limits of quantum computational advantage without restrictive assumptions.
Monte Carlo simulations model complex quantum interactions

Monte Carlo wave-function simulations of the CIM are explored, with research published on August 24, 2026, by Manushan Thenabadu, Run Yan Teh, Jia Wang, Simon Kiesewetter, Margaret D Reid and Peter D Drummond from the Centre for Quantum Science and Technology Theory, Swinburne University of Technology, Melbourne 3122, Australia. The data and simulation codes supporting the study are available in Harvard Dataverse, Version 1.1 (2025).
Researchers at Swinburne University of Technology are promoting transparency in quantum research by making their data and simulation codes openly available via Harvard Dataverse, created in 2025. Published on August 24, 2026, their work details Monte Carlo wave-function simulations used to analyze the coherent coupling strategy for coherent Ising machines, quantum networks designed to solve complex optimization problems. These simulations, involving Hilbert spaces exceeding 107 dimensions, offer a path toward exploring the limits of quantum performance for this NP-hard problem without relying on potentially limiting Gaussianity assumptions. The authors state that quantum computational advantage has been an important motivation for quantum computing researchers. The study was accepted for publication on July 15, 2026. Researchers are leveraging Monte Carlo wave-function simulations to analyze the coherent Ising machine (CIM) in regimes previously inaccessible to…
