Abstract
An optimization device includes: a processor; and search circuits configured to determine energy values for combinations of two state variables of a state variables, based on weight values each indicating strength of connection between the two state variables, and values of the two state variables, determine values of the state variables, based on results of comparison between evaluation values obtained by adding a noise value corresponding to a temperature to each energy value, and a threshold value, and be set to be equal to each other in connection states between the state variables based on the weight values, the processor is configured to: determine an exchange count, based on a difference between a temperature set for a search circuit corresponding to the lowest energy value, and a minimum temperature; set a temperature for each search circuit; and exchange the set temperatures between the search circuits for the exchange count.
