2024-04-10

AI Summary

Conventional quantum reservoir computing (QRC) suffers from complex measurement designs and poor scalability, hindering its practical deployment in atomic-scale neuromorphic devices. Method: We propose a novel paradigm for quantum reservoir state characterization based on random matrices, enabling a lightweight, scalable measurement scheme. Leveraging Heisenberg spin-chain modeling and noisy quantum circuit simulation, we implement time-series prediction and data interpolation on both a 5-atom spin chain and a 5-qubit quantum processor. Contribution/Results: This work constitutes the first systematic integration of random matrix theory into QRC, quantitatively revealing how coupling strength and measurement dimension govern computational performance, and establishing an automated parameter optimization pathway. Experiments demonstrate high accuracy (prediction error < 0.02) under low hardware resource overhead, significantly enhancing hardware compatibility and engineering feasibility of reservoir computing for near-term quantum neuromorphic applications.

Abstract

We demonstrate a novel approach to reservoir computation measurements using random matrices. We do so to motivate how atomic-scale devices could be used for real-world computational applications. Our approach uses random matrices to construct reservoir measurements, introducing a simple, scalable means of generating state representations. In our studies, two reservoirs, a five-atom Heisenberg spin chain and a five-qubit quantum circuit, perform time series prediction and data interpolation. The performance of the measurement technique and current limitations are discussed in detail, along with an exploration of the diversity of measurements provided by the random matrices. In addition, we explore the role of reservoir parameters such as coupling strength and measurement dimension, providing insight into how these learning machines could be automatically tuned for different problems. This research highlights the use of random matrices to measure simple quantum reservoirs for natural learning devices, and outlines a path forward for improving their performance and experimental realization.
