Abstract
Computational systems and methods employ characteristics of a quantum processor determined or sampled between a start and an end of an annealing evolution per an annealing schedule. The annealing evolution can be reinitialized, reversed or continued after determination. The annealing evolution can be interrupted. The annealing evolution can be ramped immediately prior to or as part of determining the characteristics. The annealing evolution can be paused or not paused immediately prior to ramping. A second representation of a problem can be generated based at least in part on the determined characteristics from an annealing evolution performed on a first representation of the problem. The determined characteristics can be autonomously compared to an expected behavior, and alerts optionally provided and/or the annealing evolution optionally terminated based on the comparison. Iterations of annealing evolutions may be performed until an exit condition occurs.
