11 Encode colors and provinces via qubits Pick unary encoding for simplicity: 13 regions 4 colors (Blue, Green, Red, Yellow) reate 13x4 = 52 logical qubits Build QMI with these four tasks: 1. Turn on exactly one of the four color qubits for each region 2. Map logical color qubits for a region to physical qubits of a unit cell 3. Use intercell couplers to enforce neighbor constraints 4. lone regions as necessary so that anada can embed into a planar grid Each task contributes a portion of the final QMI Add individual contributions to get the total QMI opyright D-Wave Systems Inc. 11

17 Scaling up... We cannot fit all the states into unit cells of the chip so we adopt a divide-and-conquer strategy Divide the US map into chunks. Process the first chunk and get valid colorings for the first chunk of states. Use these colorings to bias the second chunk. Repeat. chunk 1 chunk 2 chunk 3 opyright D-Wave Systems Inc. 17
