Several computationally hard optimization problems can be mapped to finding the ground state of an Ising model [1]. Simulating Ising models optically promises speed increases [2]. Building an optical Ising machine then raises the question of how to simulate the spin states [3].
Here we present a scheme for simulating an Ising model using the ground states of cesium vapor at room temperature. We present methods for implementing positive and negative interactions using a measurement and feedback strategy. In the system electromagnetically induced transparency acts as a frequency transducer. We initialize the system and allow it to evolve by executing a series of pump probe operations on spatially multiplexed regions of an atomic vapor cell until a ground state solution is found.
