| contents | Networks of nonlinear parametric resonators are promising candidates as Ising machines for annealing and optimization. These many-body out-of-equilibrium systems host complex phase diagrams of coexisting stationary states. The plethora of states manifest via a series of bifurcations, including bifurcations that proliferate purely unstable solutions, which we term ``ghost bifurcations''. Here, we demonstrate that the latter take a fundamental role in the stochastic dynamics of the system in the presence of noise. Specifically, they determine the switching paths and the switching rates between stable solutions. We demonstrate experimentally the impact of ghost bifurcations on the noise-activated switching dynamics in a network of two coupled parametric resonators. |
