VirtualGraphComposite.sample(bqm, **kwargs)

Sample from the given Ising model.

Parameters:

• h (list/dict) – Linear biases of the Ising model. If a list, the list’s indices are used as variable labels.
• J (dict of (int, int) – float): Quadratic biases of the Ising model.
• apply_flux_bias_offsets (bool, optional) – If True, use the calculated flux_bias offsets (if available).
• **kwargs – Optional keyword arguments for the sampling method, specified per solver.

Examples

This example uses VirtualGraphComposite to instantiate a composed sampler that submits an Ising problem to a D-Wave solver selected by the user’s default D-Wave Cloud Client configuration file. The problem represents a logical NOT gate using penalty function \(P = xy\), where variable x is the gate’s input and y the output. This simple two-variable problem is manually minor-embedded to a single Chimera unit cell: each variable is represented by a chain of half the cell’s qubits, x as qubits 0, 1, 4, 5, and y as qubits 2, 3, 6, 7. The chain strength is set to half the maximum allowed found from querying the solver’s extended J range. In this example, the ten returned samples all represent valid states of the NOT gate.
