Abstract
Methods and apparatus for quantum assisted optimization. In one aspect, a method includes obtaining a set of initial input states, applying one or more of (i) dynamical thermal fluctuations and (ii) cluster update algorithms to the set of input states and subsequent input states when the states evolve within the classical information processors, applying dynamical quantum fluctuations to the set of input states and subsequent states when the states evolve within the quantum systems and repeating the application steps until a desirable output state is obtained.
