Claim 3:
4. The method of claim 1 further comprising modifying the state s by accepting the subset of the plurality of variable modification proposals specified by solving the Quadratic Unconstrained Binary Optimization problem; and iteratively repeating, until an exit condition has been met:
generating a plurality of variable modification proposals relative to a state sn−1 via the classical processor;
formulating a Quadratic Unconstrained Binary Optimization problem corresponding to an energy change of accepting a subset of the variable modification proposals via the classical processor;
solving the Quadratic Unconstrained Binary Optimization problem via the quantum processor; and
modifying the state sn−1 to a state sn by accepting the subset of the proposals specified by solving the Quadratic Unconstrained Binary Optimization problem.
