contents Asymmetric Ising model, in which coupled spins affect each other differently, plays an important role in diverse fields, from physics to biology to artificial intelligence. We show that coupled parametric oscillators provide a well-controlled and fully characterizable physical system to implement the model. Such oscillators are bistable. The coupling changes the rate of interstate switching of an oscillator depending on the state of other oscillators. Our experiment on two coupled micromechanical resonators reveals unusual features of asymmetric Ising systems, including the onset of a probability current that circulates in the stationary state. We relate the asymmetry to the exponentially strong effect of a periodic force on the switching rates of an individual parametric oscillator, which we measure. Our findings open the possibilities of constructing and exploring asymmetric Ising systems with controlled parameters and connectivity.
