- 1. An apparatus comprising:
quantum units; and couplers among the quantum units, each coupler being configured to couple a pair of quantum units, wherein the quantum units and the couplers are configured to be characterized by a quantum annealer and a quantum governor, and wherein the quantum units and the couplers are configured such that the quantum governor suppresses excitations of the quantum annealer from an instantaneous ground state to a higher energy state during a first period of time in a quantum annealing process, and facilitates relaxation of the quantum annealer from higher energy states to lower energy states or the ground state during a second period of time in the quantum annealing process.
