Claim One:
1. A method of operation of a quantum processor, the quantum processor comprising a plurality of qubits and one or more coupling devices, each coupling device operable to provide controllable communicative coupling between a respective pair of the plurality of qubits, the method comprising: embedding in the quantum processor a problem graph comprising one or more odd cycles, the problem graph comprising a plurality of vertices and one or more edges, wherein embedding in the quantum processor a problem graph comprising one or more odd cycles includes: mapping each vertex to a respective single qubit of the plurality of qubits; mapping each edge to a respective single coupling device of the one or more coupling devices, the respective single coupling device operable to provide direct controllable communicatively coupling between a pair of qubits of the plurality of qubits, each qubit of the pair of qubits mapped to a respective pair of vertices.
