Sumario:A novel model to be applied to next-generation accelerators, Ising machines, is formulated on the basis of the phase-field model of the phase-separation structure of a diblock polymer. Recently, Ising machines including quantum annealing machines, attract overwhelming attention as a technology that opens up future possibilities. On the other hand, the phase-field model has demonstrated its high performance in material development, though it takes a long time to achieve equilibrium. Although the convergence time problem might be solved by the next-generation accelerators, no solution has been proposed. In this study, we show the calculation of the phase-separation structure of a diblock polymer as the equilibrium state using phase-field model by an actual Ising machine. The proposed new model brings remarkable acceleration in obtaining the phase-separation structure. Our model can be solved on a large-scale quantum annealing machine. The significant acceleration of the phase-field simulation by the quantum technique pushes the material development to the next stage.
