When Can Quantum Extreme Learning Machines Replace Quantum Reservoirs?

Markus Baumann, Gerhard Stenzel, Jonas Stein +1

Quantum reservoir computers (QRCs) retain information from earlier inputs, whereas reset-window quantum extreme learning machines (QELMs) start afresh and receive only a recent inp…
