Claim 9:
10. The system of claim 7 wherein the classical processor is further operable to modify 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 repeat, until an exit condition has been met:
generate a plurality of variable modification proposals relative to a state sn−1;
formulate a Quadratic Unconstrained Binary Optimization problem corresponding to the an energy change of accepting a subset of the variable modification proposals;
cause the quantum processor to solve the Quadratic Unconstrained Binary Optimization problem; and
modify the state sn−1 to a state sn by accepting the subset of the proposals specified by solving the Quadratic Unconstrained Binary Optimization problem.
