We have developed new methods for combinatorial optimization problems using large-scale optical oscillator networks. In recent years, we have constructed photonic spiking neural networks in which artificial optical neurons are realized using pairs of optical oscillators, enabling the implementation of arbitrary network topologies. In this presentation, we introduce our research results on optical oscillator networks toward brain-inspired information processing.
