Claim 11:
12. A hybrid computing system, comprising:
an analog processor comprising a plurality of analog devices;
at least one digital processor communicatively coupled to the at least one analog processor; and
at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that stores processor-executable instructions, which when executed causes the at least one digital processor to:
embed a computational problem on the analog processor to generate an embedded problem having one or more symmetries;
cause a first repeated running of the embedded problem on the analog processor to generate a first plurality of candidate solutions to the computational problem;
receive the first plurality of candidate solutions to the computational problem;
determine a value for at least one statistical feature of the first plurality of candidate solutions to the computational problem;
adjust values of at least one programmable parameter of the plurality of analog devices in the analog processor to at least partially compensate for deviations from an expected value of the at least one statistical feature, the expected value of the at least one statistical feature inferred from the one or more symmetries of the embedded problem; and
cause a second repeated running of the embedded problem on the analog processor to generate a second plurality of candidate solutions to the computational problem.
