The key innovation is mapping the electromagnetic power to the Ising Hamiltonian function, effectively transforming the RIS configuration optimization problem into finding the ground state of the Ising model. Moreover, this framework successfully demonstrates a quantum advantage in solving complex combinatorial optimization problems in smart radio environments. |

* <em>Significance</em>: This research focuses on developing physics-oriented statistical representations and algorithms for complex, wave-chaotic environments. The paper introduces an innovative computational methodology known as the stochastic Green’s function (SGF) method, which statistically describes the multipath, ray-chaotic interactions between transmitters and receivers. The work accomplishes a physics-oriented, mathematically tractable statistical wave model with diverse applications, including the mode-stirred reverberation chamber, information transmission in wave-chaotic indoor channels, statistical design of time-reversal systems, wavefront shaping and focusing, sensing and targeting.</p> |
