On fundamental aspects of quantum extreme learning machines by Xiong, W, Facelli, G, Sahebi, M, Agnel, O, Chotibut, T, Thanasilp, S, Holmes, Z

“…Notably, the expressivity of QELMs is fundamentally limited by the number of Fourier frequencies and the number of observables, while the complexity of the prediction hinges on the reservoir. As a cautionary note on scalability, we identify four sources that can lead to the exponential concentration of the observables as the system size grows (randomness, hardware noise, entanglement, and global measurements) and show how this can turn QELMs into useless input-agnostic oracles. …”
