The Max Cut optimization problem, a concept that helps divide networks into two groups to maximize cross-connections, has applications far beyond theory. From logistics and chip design to financial services and DNA sequencing, optimization problems drive critical decisions. Emerging analog optical computing technology could make solving these problems faster and more energy-efficient, unlocking new possibilities for complex models.
