When performing a solution search using a k-
parametric oscillator, if candidate solutions have been obtained, these obtained candidate solutions should be incorporated into the solution search. [Solution] The
information processing device comprises a
quantum computing circuit and a control means, the
quantum computing circuit comprises a
qubit element using a
parametric oscillator having Kerr nonlinearity, and the control means initializes the
quantum state of the
qubit element to show one of the two values of the
qubit using a coherent drive
signal, and then controls the quantum computing circuit to increase the detuning of the qubit element.
