This study experimentally validates quantum extreme learning for forecasting continuous chaotic signals from electronic circuits, addressing critical discretization challenges between oversampling and undersampling strategies. By successfully reconstructing chaotic attractors with near-term quantum simulators while maintaining robustness against decoherence, the work demonstrates practical utility for processing real-world experimental data beyond idealized simulations.
Quantum extreme learning for forecasting experimental chaotic electronic circuits
arXiv:2610.13388v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Quantum reservoir computing and its special case, quantum extreme learning, are powerful tools for predicting classical discrete time-series with quantum devices. Forecasting continuous signals, however, requires careful discretization as oversampling artificially boosts short-term accuracy but fails over realistic intervals, while undersampling captures too few features and yields poor predictions. Here, we experimentally generate four continuous time-series signals from a chaotic electronic circuit for forecasting with quantum extreme learning. Since simplified circuit models do not fully capture real behaviour, it is unclear whether algorithms that predict simulated time-series also work for experimental signals. We address discretization via two approaches: (i) sampling local peaks/troughs; and (ii) uniform sampling at the autocorrelation timescale. The former captures resonant behaviour, while the latter fully captures chaotic features as well as allowing the reconstruction of chaotic attractors. Our algorithm achieves high forecasting accuracy for both simulated and experimental signals, demonstrating its power for continuous signal processing on near-term quantum simulators, and remains robust against moderate decoherence.
