A computational method via a hybrid processor comprising an analog processor and a digital processor includes determining a first classical spin configuration via the digital processor, determining preparatory biases toward the first classical spin configuration, programming an Ising problem and the preparatory biases in the analog processor via the digital processor, evolving the analog processor in a first direction, latching the state of the analog processor for a first dwell time, programming the analog processor to remove the preparatory biases via the digital processor, determining a tunneling energy via the digital processor, determining a second dwell time via the digital processor, evolving the analog processor in a second direction until the analog processor reaches the tunneling energy, and evolving the analog processor in the first direction until the analog processor reaches a second classical spin configuration.
