D-Wave quantum annealers offer reverse annealing as a feature allowing them to refine solutions optimization problems. This paper investigates the influence of key parameters, such times and reversal distance, on behavior by studying models containing up 1000 qubits. Through analysis theoretical experimental data, we explore interplay between classical processes. Our findings provide deeper understanding that can better equip users fully harness potential
