Quantum Reservoir Computing for Time Series Forecasting with Non-Gaussian Noise

Jincheng Zhang

Reservoir computing (RC) has demonstrated significant promise in time series forecasting, particularly for chaotic systems. However, a critical limitation of traditional RC approaches is their vulnerability to non-Gaussian noise, a common characteristic of real-world time series data. This paper proposes a novel framework, Quantum Reservoir Computing (QRC), designed to address this challenge. QRC utilizes a quantum reservoir – a randomly initialized quantum circuit – to leverage the inherent noise robustness of quantum mechanics, specifically quantum entanglement and superposition. The quantum reservoir is coupled with a variational quantum circuit for output mapping. We demonstrate that this approach significantly improves forecasting accuracy when dealing with non-Gaussian noise, offering a pathway to more reliable RC implementations. The core claim of this work is that reservoir computing struggles with non-Gaussian noise, which is prevalent in many time series datasets. The core mechanism involves extending reservoir computing using a quantum reservoir – a randomly initialized quantum circuit – that is inherently robust to non-Gaussian noise due to quantum entanglement and superposition, combined with a variational quantum circuit for output mapping. The methodology incorporates a mapping function to translate quantum states into time series predictions, and the variational quantum circuit is trained to minimize the error between predicted and actual time series values. We explore the theoretical underpinnings of this method and discuss its potential for various time series forecasting applications.

Quantum Reservoir Computing for Time-Series Forecasting

Jincheng Zhang

This paper explores the application of quantum reservoir computing (QRC) to time-series forecasting. Traditional reservoir computing methods, while effective for certain time-series, often face limitations when dealing with complex, high-dimensional data. This research proposes a novel approach utilizing a quantum system, such as a driven oscillator, as the reservoir, capitalizing on the inherent quantum properties for enhanced temporal processing. The core idea involves mapping the input time series onto the quantum reservoir, allowing the reservoir's quantum state to evolve dynamically. A linear readout layer is then trained to predict future values based on the evolved state. We investigate the potential advantages of QRC, specifically its ability to capture non-linear relationships and high-dimensional correlations within the time series data. The theoretical framework is presented, outlining the key components and the training methodology. Simulation results (described in detail below) demonstrate the feasibility and potential performance gains of QRC compared to classical reservoir computing. This research contributes to the growing field of quantum computing applied to time-series analysis.

Digital Quantum Reservoir Computing for ATM Time Series Prediction

Chiara Vercellino, Giacomo Vitali, Valeria Zaffaroni +5 more

We investigate a digital quantum reservoir computing (QRC) framework for multi-step forecasting of automated teller machine (ATM) cash demand time series on near-term quantum devices. The proposed approach uses parametrized four-qubit reservoirs with a fixed structure exploiting partial measurement and reset, where temporal data is encoded in rotation angles. Training is restricted to a classical Ridge-regression readout. We systematically analyze the impact of the circuit ansatzë, reservoir memory, measurement-derived observables, and the execution backend on the forecasting performance. Experiments are performed with noiseless simulation, noise-aware emulation, and a real IQM Spark quantum processor. Although the QRC models do not outperform the classical Prophet benchmark in terms of Mean Absolute Error and Normalized Mean Squared Error metrics, they achieve more competitive results in Dynamic Time Warping metric, indicating a partial ability to capture temporal structure. These findings provide an empirical assessment of digital QRC for realistic financial forecasting and highlight both its current limitations and its potential on near-term quantum hardware.
