Abstract
A system and method of operation embeds a three-dimensional structure in a topology of an analog processor, for example a quantum processor. The analog processor may include a plurality of qubits arranged in tiles or cells. A number of qubits and communicatively coupled as logical qubits, each logical qubit which span across a plurality of tiles or cells of the qubits. Communicatively coupling between qubits of any given logical qubit can be implemented via application or assignment of a first ferromagnetic coupling strength to each of a number of couplers that communicatively couple the respective qubits in the logical qubit. Other ferromagnetic coupling strengths can be applied or assigned to couplers that communicatively couple qubits that are not part of the logical qubit. The first ferromagnetic coupling strength may be substantially higher than the other ferromagnetic coupling strengths.
