Abstract
Reservoir computing is a machine learning framework that uses artificial or physical dissipative dynamics to predict time-series data using nonlinearity and memory properties of dynamical systems. Quantum systems are considered as promising reservoirs, but the conventional quantum reservoir computing (QRC) models have problems in the execution time. In this paper, we develop a quantum reservoir (QR) system that exploits repeated measurement to generate a time-series, which can effectively reduce the execution time. We experimentally implement the proposed QRC on the IBM's quantum superconducting device and show that it achieves higher accuracy as well as shorter execution time than the conventional QRC method. Furthermore, we study the temporal information processing capacity to quantify the computational capability of the proposed QRC; in particular, we use this quantity to identify the measurement strength that best tradeoffs the amount of available information and the strength of dissipation. An experimental demonstration with soft robot is also provided, where the repeated measurement over 1000 timesteps was effectively applied. Finally, a preliminary result with 120 qubits device is discussed.
