1. An apparatus comprising: (1) (4)

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.

2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the quantum annealer experiences four phases in the quantum annealing process, including initialization, excitation, relaxation, and freezing. (1) (0)
