Abstract
A Boltzmann machine circuit includes: a plurality of circuits each circuit configured to add one or more first values based on one or more outputs of one or more circuits which are included in the plurality of circuits and are other than the circuit and convert an addition result into an analog signal, compare the analog signal with a second value, and output a comparison result; a plurality of arithmetic circuits configured to multiply the respective comparison results by respective weight values and generate the first values; and a control circuit configured to amplify an amplitude of the analog signal generated by each of the plurality of circuits.
