• Abstract: A distinctive feature of Quantum Reservoir Computing (QRC) is the ability to directly embed quantum input states into the reservoir dynamics. However, the resulting output is fundamentally linear for a single input state, preventing QRC from naturally computing nonlinear functionals such as purity or entropy. We overcome this limitation with a quantum-classical hybrid architecture combining a qubit quantum reservoir with a classical echo state network (ESN), allowing both nonlinear functional approximation and effective temporal processing. We systematically study performance under two information regimes: full-tomography and partial information (single-axis measurements), with the latter demonstrating that the hybrid system outperforms its standalone components in both linear and nonlinear tasks due to the enhanced information retrieval provided by the quantum reservoir. Building on these results, we apply an online monitoring protocol that explicitly accounts for measurement back-action and finite measurement ensembles, enabling a realistic assessment of performance under experimental conditions. These results establish hybrid quantum-classical reservoir computing (HRC) architectures as a practical and scalable route for enhanced quantum machine learning on near-term qubit hardware.
