contents Quantum neural networks promise to extend the power of machine learning into the quantum domain, with potential applications ranging from automatic recognition of quantum states to the control of quantum devices. However, their physical implementation and training remain challenging. In particular, the backpropagation algorithm that underpins the efficiency of classical neural networks cannot generally be applied to large quantum systems, as nonlinear quantum dynamics are not efficiently simulable. Instead, variational quantum circuits typically rely on parameter-shift rules or sampling-based gradient estimation. Here we propose a bosonic quantum neural network based on parametrically coupled Gaussian modes. Although the underlying quantum dynamics are linear, nonlinear output features are generated through Fock-basis measurements. Because Gaussian evolution can be efficiently simulated in the Heisenberg representation, the system admits gradient-based optimization by differentiating a classical model of the dynamics, while the forward evolution itself could be implemented on quantum hardware. This hybrid approach enables end-to-end training of physically meaningful parameters without requiring gradient extraction from the experimental device. Such architectures are naturally compatible with circuit quantum electrodynamics platforms featuring tunable parametric couplers, as well as integrated photonic systems with engineered $χ$(2) or $χ$(3) nonlinearities. Our results demonstrate that linear bosonic networks combined with nonlinear measurement provide a scalable and trainable route toward experimentally realizable quantum neural networks.
