PN-QNN: Harnessing Physical Noise as a Native Regularizer in Photonic Hybrid Quantum Neural Networks

Farah Elnakhal, Alberto Marchisio, Nouhaila Innan +2

Physical noise in near-term quantum hardware is usually treated as a nuisance to suppress. We ask whether it can instead act as a hardware-native regularizer for photonic hybrid qu…
