DESCRIPTION:Several platforms are currently being explored for simulating 
 physical systems whose complexity increases faster than polynomially with 
 the number of particles or degrees of freedom in the system. Many of these
  computationally intractable problems can be mapped into   classical spin 
 models such as the Ising and the XY models and be simulated by a suitable 
 physical system. In my talk I will investigate the potential of polariton 
 graphs as an efficient simulator for finding  the global minimum of the cl
 assical XY Hamiltonian. \n\n
