FIG. 7. STM and PC capacities under various settings. (a) Capacities for the 5-qubit QRs plotted with various parameters<br />
τ∆ = 0.125–128, J/∆ = 0.05–1.0, h/∆ = 0.5, and V = 1–50. Integrable cases with 1DNN couplings are shown as “integrable<br />
systems”. For each setting, the capacities are evaluated as an average on 20 samples, and the standard deviations are shown by<br />
the error bars. (b) Typical dynamics with fully connected (upper) and 1DNN couplings (lower) are shown with the signals from<br />
each qubit. The input sequence and purity, a measure of quantum coherence, are shown by dotted and solid lines, respectively.<br />
(c) QRs with J/∆ = 2h/∆ = 1 and 0.125 ≤ τ∆ ≤ 128 for N = 2–7. For each setting, the capacities are evaluated as an average<br />
on 20 samples, and the standard deviations are shown by the error bars. The ESNs with 10–500 nodes are shown as references.<br />
In Fig. 7 (c), the STM and PC capacities are plotted<br />
for the QRs from N = 2 to N = 7. The 7-qubit QRs, for<br />
example, with τ∆ = 2, J/∆ = 2h/∆ = 1, and V = 10–<br />
50, are as powerful as the ESNs of 500 nodes with the<br />
spectral radius around 1.0. Note that even if the virtual<br />
nodes are included, the total number of nodes NV = 350<br />
is less than 500.<br />
B. Robustness against imperfections<br />
We here investigate the effect of decoherence (noise) to<br />
validate the feasibility of QRC. We consider two types of<br />
noise: the first is decoherence, which is introduced by an<br />
undesired coupling of QRs with the environment, thereby<br />
resulting in a loss of quantum coherence, and the other is<br />
a statistical error on the observed signals from QRs. The<br />
former is more serious because quantum coherence is, in<br />
general, fragile against decoherence, which is the most<br />
difficult barrier for realizations of quantum information<br />
processing.<br />
We employ the dephasing noise as decoherence, which<br />
is a simple yet experimentally dominant source of noise.<br />
In the numerical simulation, the time evolution is divided<br />
into a small discrete interval δt, and qubits are exposed to<br />
the single-qubit phase-flip channel with probability (1 −<br />
e −2γδt )/2 for each timestep:<br />
E(ρ) = 1 + e−2γδt<br />
ρ + 1 − e−2γδt<br />
