Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 0:
1. A method, comprising:
annealing a first qubit of a first pair of qubits toward a solution at a first rate;
annealing a second qubit of the first pair of qubits toward the solution at a second rate concurrently with the annealing of the first qubit of the first pair of qubits, the second rate faster than the first rate;
determining a state of the second qubit of the first pair of qubits at a first time before an end of the annealing of the first qubit of the first pair of qubits; and
modifying the annealing of the first qubit of the first pair of qubits based at least in part on the determined state of the second qubit of the first pair of qubits.
