Abstract Quantum reservoir computing (QRC) offers a powerful approach to exploit the rich dynamics of quantum systems for information processing. However, the computational performance of conventional Hermitian reservoirs is inherently constrained by their nonlinearity and information-spreading ability. In this work, we propose a non-Hermitian QRC in which non-Hermitian dynamics are employed as a tunable resource to significantly enhance the QRC performance. By incorporating an imaginary interaction term into the one-dimensional XY spin model, the reservoir's information propagation extends beyond the Lieb-Robinson bound, resulting in accelerated information scrambling. Through spectral analysis and memory evaluation, we demonstrate that the non-Hermitian reservoir can be tuned toward the edge of chaos by varying a single parameter that controls the non-Hermitian strength. This tuning optimizes both memory and computational capacities, which are crucial for processing temporal sequences. For applications, we evaluate the predictive performance of both classical and quantum chaotic time series. Our results demonstrate superior performance compared with the Hermitian counterpart, with particularly notable advantages in predicting signals generated by the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model.
