Universal approximation in reservoir computing is typically associated with a class of reservoirs. We show that universality can be associated with a single reservoir, considering a minimal setup of a single atom in front of a mirror.

The paper investigates quantum reservoir computing using highly scrambling quantum systems modeled by high‑order unitary designs. It shows that in noiseless settings, measurement readouts become exponentially concentrated as the reservoir size grows, but this concentration does not worsen with repeated iterations, while memory of early inputs decays exponentially with both reservoir size and iterations. In noisy environments, memory also decays exponentially over time for local noisy channels, and the study introduces new proof techniques for bounding concentration in temporal quantum models. Numerical results indicate that even physical reservoirs, such as an Ising model in a quantum‑chaotic phase, can exhibit exponential concentration, whereas reservoirs in a many‑body localized phase or at the edge of chaos do not.

The paper introduces task‑resolved Fisher spectroscopy for quantum reservoir computing, defining orthonormal score coordinates from prediction targets that reweight labeled histories to produce an affine family of reservoir states and measurement outcomes. It establishes a Fisher‑information hierarchy linking state quantum Fisher information, measurement record Fisher information, and moment matrices up to many‑body order, providing a quadratic form that equals the stationary capacity of the optimal linear readout. The method requires only stationary labeled records and measured outcomes, enabling predictions of held‑out capacities, necessary feature order, and measurement‑budget dependence, and demonstrates how optimizing local measurement axes can recover hidden task information in a five‑spin open reservoir.
arXiv:2504. 05336v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: A recurring weakness in quantum machine learning (QML) is that reported ``quantum advantages'' are seldom tested against a \emph{capacity-matched} classical control, leaving it unclear whether a gain comes from the quantum substrate or from the architectural change that accompanies it.
Quantum reservoir computing uses a fixed quantum circuit as a feature generator and trains only a simple linear readout on top of it. This makes it cheap to train and free of the optimisation problems that affect many quantum machine-learning models.
