Finding the Sweet Spot: Making Quantum Machine Learning Easier to Train and More Powerful
🔬 Researchers working on the QRC-4-ESP project - Moein Ivaki, Matias Karjula and Tapio Ala-Nissilä - have recently published new results in Quantum Physics 👉 https://arxiv.org/abs/2510.18623 ⚙️ The paper introduces a novel approach to designing quantum machine learning (QML) systems that are both expressive and trainable . Using a random circuit model, a single control parameter (probability p ) smoothly tunes the system from classically easy dynamics to quantum-univers

Teaching Quantum Circuits to Learn Time: A Conversation with Dr. Moein Ivaki
Moein Ivaki, Aalto University Postdoc Researcher 1. Could you briefly introduce your postdoc project - what core question you’re tackling this year, and why it matters? I’m a postdoc in the MSP group at Aalto University’s Department of Applied Physics. My project asks a simple but demanding question: which quantum systems are actually good learners for temporal tasks? I study how structural properties - nonlocal correlations, complexity, disorder, symmetries, noise - shape p

One Person’s Journey into Quantum Reservoir Computing: An Interview with Loughborough University Postdoc Researcher Wendy Otieno Working on the QRC-4-ESP Project
Dr. Wendy Otieno, Loughborough University Postdoc Researcher 1. What first sparked your interest in quantum research, and how did it lead you to join the QRC-4-ESP project? Numerically solving Schrödinger’s equation for quantum systems like particles in finite and infinite potential wells first sparked my interest in quantum research. Through this process, I developed a deep appreciation for the elegant yet challenging mathematical structures that underpin quantum systems.
