NeuroSA: Modeled on neurobiology, leverages quantum mechanical behavior to find solutions to complex optimization problems

https://source.washu.edu/2025/05/a-neuro-quantum-leap-in-finding-optimal-solutions/

"solves discovery problems (have new/ unknown solutions), the hardest in machine learning... Fowler-Nordheim annealers, using quantum mechanical tunneling principles setting search behavior (and when to shift where to look), guarantee to find optimal solution, and more reliability, given enough time... implemented on SpiNNaker2 neuromorphic computing platform... optimal protein folding/ configuration discovering new drugs, optimizing logistics in: supply chains, manufacturing, transportation services"
