Quantum computing has been moving from a theoretical phase to practical one, presenting daunting challenges in implementing physical qubits, which are subjected to noises from the surrounding environment. These quantum noises are ubiquitous in quantum devices and generate adverse effects in the quantum computational model, leading to extensive research on their correction and mitigation techniques. But do these quantum noises always provide disadvantages? We tackle this issue by proposing a framework called quantum noise-induced reservoir computing and show that some abstract quantum noise models can induce useful information processing capabilities for temporal input data. We demonstrate this ability in several typical benchmarks and investigate the information processing capacity to clarify the framework's processing mechanism and memory profile. We verified our perspective by implementing the framework in a number of IBM quantum processors and obtained similar characteristic memory profiles with model analyses. As a surprising result, information processing capacity increased with quantum devices' higher noise levels and error rates. Our study opens up a novel path for diverting useful information from quantum computer noises into a more sophisticated information processor.

Learning from quantum data using classical machine learning models has emerged as a promising paradigm toward realizing quantum advantages. Despite extensive analyses on their performance, clean and fully labeled quantum data from the target domain are often unavailable in practical scenarios, forcing models to be trained on data collected under conditions that differ from those encountered at deployment. This mismatch highlights the need for new approaches beyond the common assumptions of prior work. In this work, we address this issue by employing an unsupervised domain adaptation framework for learning from imperfect quantum data. Specifically, by leveraging classical representations of quantum states obtained via classical shadows, we perform unsupervised domain adaptation entirely within a classical computational pipeline once measurements on the quantum states are executed. We numerically evaluate the framework on quantum phases of matter and entanglement classification tasks under realistic domain shifts. Across both tasks, our method outperforms source-only non-adaptive baselines and target-only unsupervised learning approaches, demonstrating the practical applicability of domain adaptation to realistic quantum data learning.

Scrambling quantum systems have attracted attention as effective substrates for temporal information processing. Here we consider a quantum reservoir processing framework that captures a broad range of physical computing models with quantum systems. We examine the scalability and memory retention of the model with scrambling reservoirs modelled by high-order unitary designs in both noiseless and noisy settings. In the former regime, we show that measurement readouts become exponentially concentrated with increasing reservoir size, yet strikingly do not worsen with the reservoir iterations. Thus, while repeatedly reusing a small scrambling reservoir with quantum data might be viable, scaling up the problem size deteriorates generalization unless one can afford an exponential shot overhead. In contrast, the memory of early inputs and initial states decays exponentially in both reservoir size and reservoir iterations. In the noisy regime, we also prove that memory decays exponentially in time for local noisy channels. These results required us to introduce new proof techniques for bounding concentration in temporal quantum models.
