Qrc-engine

A new modular Python framework for quantum reservoir computing, qrc-engine, was released in March 2026, offering a unified API to streamline cross-platform quantum experiments. The framework supports three major quantum backends: photonic systems via Quandela’s Perceval, gate-based circuits through IBM’s Qiskit, and open-system dynamics for broader quantum simulations. Designed with extensibility as a core principle, qrc-engine allows researchers to integrate additional backends or custom quantum architectures without overhauling existing workflows. The open-source project targets quantum machine learning applications, leveraging reservoir computing’s efficiency for temporal data processing in quantum hardware. Developers invite community feedback to refine the framework, with the repository hosted on GitHub for collaboration and contributions.
