Abstract: The systems, devices, articles, and methods described herein generally relate to analog computers, for example quantum processors comprising qubits, couplers, and, or cavities. Analog computers, for example quantum processor based computers, are the subject of various sources of error which can hinder operation, potentially reducing computational accuracy and speed. Sources of error can be broadly characterized, for example as i) a background susceptibility do to inherently characteristics of the circuitry design, ii) as an h/J ratio imbalance, iii) bit flip errors, iv) fidelity, and v) Anderson localization, and various combinations of the aforesaid.

Abstract: The systems, devices, articles, and methods generally relate to sampling from an available probability distribution. The samples maybe used to create a desirable probability distribution, for instance for use in computing values used in computational techniques including: Importance Sampling and Markov chain Monte Carlo systems. An analog processor may operate as a sample generator, for example by: programming the analog processor with a configuration of the number of programmable parameters for the analog processor, which corresponds to a probability distribution over qubits of the analog processor, evolving the analog processor, and reading out states for the qubits. The states for the qubits in the plurality of qubits correspond to a sample from the probability distribution. Operation of the sampling device may be summarized as including updating a set of samples to include the sample from the probability distribution, and returning the set of samples.

Abstract: Adaptations and improvements to tubular metal powder filters include employing cross sectional geometries of any suitable shape, aligning the inner conductor off-axis, replacing the inner conductive wire with a conductive trace or a superconductive trace carried by a printed circuit board, combining multiple filters within a single common outer conductive housing, and employing meandering and other non-parallel signal paths. The various adaptations and improvements are designed to accommodate single-ended and differential signaling, as well as superconducting and non-superconducting applications.

Abstract: A user interface (UI), data structures and algorithms facilitate programming, analyzing, debugging, embedding, and/or modifying problems that are embedded or to be embedded on an analog processor (e.g., quantum processor), increasing computational efficiency and/or accuracy of problem solutions. The UI provides graph representations (e.g., source graph, target graph and correspondence therebetween) with nodes and edges which may map to hardware components (e.g., qubits, couplers) of the analog processor. Characteristics of solutions are advantageously represented spatially associated (e.g., overlaid or nested) with characteristics of a problem. Characteristics (e.g., bias state) may be represented by color, pattern, values, icons. Issues (e.g., broken chains) may be detected and alerts provided. Problem representations may be modified via the UI, and a computer system may autonomously generate new instances of the problem representation, update data structures, embed the new instance and cause the new instance to be executed by the analog processor.

Abstract: Systems and methods for operating digital computer system and a quantum processor to optimize an investment portfolio are described. A set of candidate investments is mapped to the qubits of the quantum processor, where each qubit is programmed with a respective programmable qubit parameter that is representative of the recent performance of the particular candidate investment to which the qubit corresponds. Pair-wise correlations between the candidate investments are mapped to coupling devices of the quantum processor, where each coupling device is programmed with a respective programmable coupling parameter that is representative of the particular correlation to which the coupling device corresponds. The quantum processor is evolved to determine the minimum energy configuration of the qubit states with respect to the programmable qubit and coupling device parameters. The digital computer system interacts with the quantum processor via an investment portfolio optimization module.

Abstract: Computational systems implement problem solving using hybrid digital/quantum computing approaches. A problem may be represented as a problem graph which is larger and/or has higher connectivity than a working and/or hardware graph of a quantum processor. A quantum processor may be used determine approximate solutions, which solutions are provided as initial states to one or more digital processors which may implement classical post-processing to generate improved solutions. Techniques for solving problems on extended, more-connected, and/or “virtual full yield” variations of the processor's actual working and/or hardware graphs are provided. A method of operation in a computational system comprising a quantum processor includes partitioning a problem graph into sub-problem graphs, and embedding a sub-problem graph onto the working graph of the quantum processor. The quantum processor and a non-quantum processor-based device generate partial samples. A controller causes a processing operation on the partial samples to generate complete samples.
