We demonstrate the use of a Time-Multiplexed Opto-Electronic Oscillator based Coherent Ising Machine(CIM) to solve Maxcut Problems. Time multiplexing helps reduce system complexity and size, with good scaling against problem size. Benchmarks against state-of-the-art classical solvers show comparable performance, with encouraging results for further improvements.
