dwave.preprocessing.composites.SpinReversalTransformComposite.sample#

SpinReversalTransformComposite.sample(bqm: BinaryQuadraticModel, *, num_spin_reversal_transforms: int = 1, **kwargs)[source]#

Sample from the binary quadratic model.

Parameters:

  • bqm – Binary quadratic model to be sampled from.

  • num_spin_reversal_transforms – Number of spin reversal transform runs. A value of 0 will not transform the problem. If you specify a nonzero value, each spin reversal transform will result in an independent run of the child sampler.

Returns:

A sample set. Note that for a sampler that returns num_reads samples, the sample set will contain num_reads*num_spin_reversal_transforms samples.

Examples

This example runs 100 spin reversals applied to one variable of a QUBO problem.
