Quantum reservoir computing induced by controllable damping

E. Ricci, F. Monzani, L. Nigro, E. Prati

npj Quantum Information

Controlled rotations induce tunable damping in quantum circuits, giving stable, non-unital reservoir dynamics for temporal information processing without relying on intrinsic hardware noise.

Leveraging quantum annealing for layout optimization

L. Nigro, S. Sala, A. Amendola, E. Prati

Advanced Quantum Technologies 8, e00358

Wind-farm layout optimisation cast as a QUBO and solved by quantum annealing reaches solutions an order of magnitude faster than Gurobi, with at most 3% lower power output.

Simulation of a three-nucleons system transition on quantum circuits

L. Nigro, C. Barbieri, E. Prati

Advanced Quantum Technologies 8, 2400371

A complete nuclear transition in tritium on a gate-based quantum computer: variational preparation of ground and excited states, and the magnetic-dipole transition probability via a linear combination of unitaries.

Non-unital noise in a superconducting quantum computer as a computational resource for reservoir computing

F. Monzani, E. Ricci, L. Nigro, E. Prati

arXiv:2409.07886

Amplitude-damping noise, modelled as a non-unital channel, improves reservoir computing on time-dependent tasks by preventing the information loss caused by mid-circuit measurements.
