Accepted sample values obtained using a set of training vectors and a set of model values associate with a model distribution are processed to obtain gradients of an objective function so that the Boltzmann machine specification can be updated. In other examples, a Gibbs distribution is estimated or a quantum circuit is specified so at to produce eigenphases of a unitary.
