Leveraging Metrologically Useful States in Quantum Reservoir Networks

Interest in using quantum computers for the purpose of predicting chaotic partial differential equations (PDEs) has been growing with the advent of newer low-error quantum computers and robust simulation tools. In this paper, we present a method that utilizes a quantum reservoir network (QRN) to predict latent space representations of the high-dimensional chaotic 1-D Kuramoto-Sivashinksy (KS) system. This hybrid approach takes advantage of advancements in classical machine learning (ML) through the use of a classical autoencoder as well as techniques from quantum metrology through the use of a unitary that creates metrologically-useful states. Through rigorous simulation and analysis, we show that the proposed method outperforms alternative QRN implementations without this metrologically-useful state preparation, and also show better performance than classical echo-state networks when weight regularization is not used. Finally, we bring to light potential issues that can arise when using autoencoders within QRC pipelines.
