contents Quantum reservoir computing offers a promising approach to the utilization of complex quantum dynamics in machine learning. Statistical noise inevitably arises in real settings of quantum reservoir computing (QRC) due to the practical necessity of taking a small to moderate number of measurements. We investigate the effect of statistical noise in spin-network QRC on the possible performance benefits conferred by quantumness. As our measures of quantumness, we employ both quantum entanglement, which we quantify by the partial transpose of the density matrix, and coherence, which we quantify as the sum of the absolute values of the off-diagonal elements of the density matrix. We find that reservoirs which enjoy a finite degree of quantum entanglement and coherence are more stable against the adverse effects of statistical noise on performance compared to their unentangled, incoherent counterparts. Our results thus indicate that the potential benefit reservoir computers may derive from quantumness depends on the number of measurements used for training and testing, and that statistical noise, albeit detrimental on the whole, may leave quantum reservoirs in a stronger position relative to less quantum ones. These findings not only emphasize the importance of incorporating realistic noise models, but also suggest that the search for computational regimes that benefit from quantumness may be aided rather than impeded by the practical constraints of implementation within existing machines.
