## Abstract

We introduce a measurement-induced quantum neural network (MINN), an adaptive monitored-circuit architecture in which mid-circuit measurement outcomes determine the entangling gates in subsequent layers. In contrast to standard monitored circuits where sites and gates are sampled randomly, the gates are parametrized and variational, producing correlated history-dependent dynamics and injecting nonlinearity through measurement back-action. A generic MINN is not expected to be efficiently classically simulable. To demonstrate feasibility, we study a matchgate MINN that admits exact fermionic simulation and can be trained with gradient estimators. We apply the architecture to continuous optimization, image classification, and ground-state search in the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick spin glass, finding effective training and performance over a broad range of monitoring rates.

## Recorded benchmark results

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.
