Abstract

A filter multiplexer for variable bandwidth annealing selection is described. The filter multiplexer has multiple pathways, where each pathway comprises a switch and a filter. Each filter has a different cutoff frequency from the other filters. Switches may be cryogenic switches. Each pathway may be communicatively coupled to an external annealing line. Upon receiving a problem, an annealing bandwidth can be selected, set or configured via the multiplexer to operate a quantum processor with a desired annealing schedule. The multiplexer may be used for calibration of a quantum processor by performing a calibration with a large annealing bandwidth, then calibrating the quantum processor by iterating through all available annealing bandwidths from the multiplexer.
