This invention relates to an optical Ising calculation method and system based on dual digital micromirror devices (DMDs). First, the combinatorial optimization problem is mapped to an Ising model. Multiple mask vectors are constructed, and each mask vector is decomposed into multiple binary bit planes. A spin configuration matrix is constructed and loaded into DMD-A. For each mask vector, its binary bit planes are sequentially loaded into DMD-B. The light intensity modulated by the two DMDs is collected and processed. The optical inner product is obtained by combining the bit-weighted components, and then the energy contribution value of the mask vector is calculated. The total Hamiltonian is obtained by summing all contributions. The energy difference is calculated by randomly flipping the spins and repeating the above steps. The probability of accepting the current flip is calculated based on the energy difference. This process is iterated until the maximum number of iterations is reached to obtain the final solution. The system is used to implement the above method. Compared with the prior art, this invention can achieve a high-speed, stable, and coherently independent optical Ising solution method.
