Researchers have explored the potential of using physical noise in photonic hybrid quantum neural networks (PHQNNs) as a native regularizer, drawing parallels to noise-injection techniques in classical deep learning. By employing a genetic algorithm to tune noise parameters within Quandela's Perceval simulator and the MerLin framework, the study aimed to optimize PHQCNN performance on datasets like Iris, Digits, and MNIST. While this approach yielded modest accuracy gains on Iris and Digits, it resulted in a degradation of performance on MNIST, indicating that the beneficial effects of physical noise as a regularizer are dataset-dependent.
