The technology relates to enhancing performance of quantum sensor operation in a noisy environment. Quantum neural networks are used to pre- and post-process analog signals to which qubits of a quantum sensor are exposed. Intra-processing using additional quantum neural networks may also be employed. This approach filters out noise from both the input analog signal and the system itself to achieve a very high signal to noise ratio. This permits the system to detect induced dynamics associated during exposure of the qubits to the analog signals. This enables the quantum sensor to sense a change in a state of a system under test, which can be beneficial for areas such as imaging, magnetometry, sensing electric fields, optomechanical sensors, quantum radar and other areas where enhanced signal to noise ratios are desired.
