DESCRIPTION:The recent advances in development of physical platforms for s
 olving combinatorial optimisation problems reveal the future of high-perfo
 rmance computing for the quantum and classical devices. Unconventional com
 puting architectures were proposed for numerous systems including supercon
 ducting qubits\, CMOS hardware\, optical parametric oscillators\, memristo
 rs\, lasers\, photonic simulators\, trapped ions\, polariton  and photon c
 ondensates. A promising approach to achieve computational supremacy over t
 he classical von Neumann architecture explores classical and quantum hardw
 are as Ising and XY machines. Gain-dissipative platforms  such as the netw
 orks of optical parametric oscillators\, coupled lasers and  non-equilibri
 um Bose-Einstein condensates such as exciton-polariton or photon condensat
 es use an approach to finding the global minimum of spin Hamiltonians whic
 h is different from quantum annealers or quantum computers. In my talk I w
 ill discuss the principles of the operation of the devices based on such s
 ystems with a focus on  polariton graph  platform that we recently realise
 d in experiments.
