Reservoir computing with complex quantum systems

Non-conventional computing inspired by the brain, or neuromorphic computing, is a successful approach in a broad spectrum of applications, and in the last few years proposals of Quantum Reservoir Computing have been explored. Quantum physical reservoirs have the potential to boost the processing performance in temporal tasks by exploiting quantum coherence, not requiring error correction. Furthermore this approach is naturally suited for fully quantum information processing (with quantum inputs). In this talk we will briefly review the state of the art and focus on recent results exploring the potential of different platforms and operation regimes, the role of quantum coherence and entanglement, and how to overcome the challenges of real-time quantum reservoir computing.
