WiMi builds a quantum system to compress data and preserve detail

WiMi Hologram Cloud Inc. (NASDAQ: WiMi) is developing a data compression technology that integrates the Quantum Haar Transform (QHT) with quantum partial measurement technology to create a novel approach. The company reports this approach constructs correlations between feature dimensions through quantum entanglement, preserving data’s structural information while compressing it. Built on the universal quantum circuit of the quantum Fourier transform, QHT uses superposition to efficiently transform high-dimensional data, aiming to solve the computational complexity issues faced by classical methods in high-dimensional data processing.

Quantum Haar Transform Enables High-Dimensional Data Mapping

WiMi Hologram Cloud Inc. utilizes the Quantum Haar Transform (QHT) to map high-dimensional classical data to a quantum state space, with each qubit representing a feature dimension and superposition coefficients encoding feature intensity. This approach addresses the exponential increase in computational complexity faced by classical Haar transforms when processing high-dimensional data. Quantum partial measurement technology complements the QHT by selectively extracting key feature information from the quantum state, based on the probabilistic interpretation of quantum states, rather than discarding data as in classical pooling strategies.

If a max-pooling strategy is adopted, the measurement basis construction aims to maximize the collapse probability of the quantum state corresponding to the maximum feature intensity; conversely, average-pooling achieves a weighted average of feature intensities through measurement basis orthogonality. Unmeasured qubits remain in superposition, maintaining local feature correlations, while measurement results output low-dimensional classical feature vectors, optimizing feature preservation and dimension compression.

The technology’s core relies on Variational Quantum Algorithms (VQA), a hybrid quantum-classical approach consisting of a Parameterized Quantum Circuit (PQC) and a classical optimizer. The classical optimizer iteratively adjusts PQC parameters to minimize a loss function, such as feature reconstruction error, enabling precise control of quantum state transformation.

This allows optimization of QHT quantum gate parameters to maximize local feature correlation preservation when mapping high-dimensional data and to adapt pooling output features to downstream tasks. This system exhibits efficient computational characteristics; it uses quantum parallelism and QHT orthogonality to achieve polynomial-level reduction in complexity compared to classical high-dimensional data pooling algorithms, significantly improving processing efficiency for large-scale data.

Ivy Delaney has been working with neural networks and machine learning since the mid-nineties, back when a couple of hidden layers and a long afternoon of training counted as ambitious. She has watched the field go from academic curiosity to the thing quietly running underneath everything, and she brings that long view to quantum computing. For Quantum Zeitgeist she covers the ground where the two fields meet. That means quantum machine learning and the variational algorithms it leans on, and it also means the less glamorous but more interesting story of classical machine learning already doing real work inside quantum machines, decoding error-correcting codes, calibrating noisy hardware and learning the error models that simulators depend on. She writes about the hardware those algorithms have to run on too, and about the post-quantum cryptography scramble that the same hardware has set off. Her stories typically start with the paper, whether that is peer-reviewed work, conference proceedings or an arXiv preprint, with the source linked so you can hold a claim up against the research it came from. She is unimpressed by benchmarks that will not say what they beat, and by demonstrations that only work in the press release.
