Photonic integrated circuits,Optical demultiplexers

We implemented Factorization Machines with Simulated Annealing to optimize the demultiplexer structure for large-scale photonic integrated circuits. The optimization was completed in 23 hours, whereas it would take more than 10¹⁶ years using global search.
