BEIJING, Aug. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — WiMi Hologram Cloud Inc. (NASDAQ: WiMi) (“WiMi” or the “Company”), a leading global Hologram Augmented Reality (“AR”) Technology provider, is exploring a federated training framework for hybrid quantum-classical machine learning models, deeply integrating quantum neural networks (QNN) with classical pre-trained convolutional models, achieving dual breakthroughs in model accuracy and training efficiency through a distributed quantum computing architecture, and opening up innovative technical paths for data privacy protection and large-scale model training.
Quantum computers, through the superposition and entanglement states of qubits, can process an exponential number of computational tasks in parallel. This characteristic gives quantum machine learning (QML) potential advantages in tasks such as optimization problems and feature extraction. However, current quantum hardware is limited by factors such as noise and decoherence time, making it difficult to directly support the training of large-scale deep learning models. Federated learning uses a distributed training mechanism of “data stationary, model moving” to allow local nodes to share only model parameters to a central server for aggregation while retaining the original data. This mode effectively avoids the leakage risks brought by centralized data storage, but traditional FL frameworks still face two major challenges: first, the computational overhead of classical neural networks on edge devices leads to low training efficiency; second, the communication costs in the model parameter transmission process surge with the growth of node scale.
The fusion of quantum computing and federated learning provides solutions to the above problems. The parallel computing capability of quantum algorithms can reduce the complexity of optimization problems in high-dimensional feature spaces from exponential to polynomial levels, while the distributed architecture of federated learning provides a natural carrier for the engineering deployment of quantum models. The deeply collaborative hybrid architecture constructed by WiMi uses classical pre-trained convolutional models to handle underlying feature extraction tasks, leveraging their mature advantages in learning basic features such as image textures and edges, with quantum neural networks composed of parameterized quantum circuits (PQC) responsible for nonlinear mapping of higher-level abstract features, enhancing feature expression capabilities through quantum entanglement characteristics; ultimately, multi-node model collaborative optimization is achieved through the federated learning framework.
This innovative architecture demonstrates three major breakthroughs in its technical implementation. At the model design level, it adopts a hybrid quantum-classical convolutional neural network (SHQCNN) structure, where the input layer maps image data from low-dimensional space to high-dimensional quantum feature space through kernel encoding methods, solving the adaptation challenges between quantum states and classical data. The hidden layer innovatively introduces enhanced variational quantum circuits, which, through optimization of quantum gate combinations and adaptive parameter adjustment strategies, achieve feature extraction capabilities comparable to deep classical CNNs with only dozens of qubits, while avoiding the accumulation of quantum noise as circuit depth increases. The output layer employs the mini-batch gradient descent algorithm, accelerating model convergence through a high-frequency weight update mechanism, making the fusion decision of quantum-classical features more efficient. In the federated training mechanism, WiMi designs a layered aggregation communication protocol. Local nodes retain only the classical pre-trained convolutional base model and lightweight quantum processors; after completing local data feature encoding and model training through quantum circuits, only the encrypted quantum parameter gradients are uploaded to the central server, rather than raw feature data. The central node uses quantum state technology to complete cross-node parameter aggregation, then generates global update parameters through a classical optimizer and distributes them to each node.
The hybrid quantum-classical federated learning framework researched by WiMi marks a paradigm shift in machine learning from classical computing to quantum-enhanced computing, solving the core issues of data privacy and training efficiency. With the maturation of quantum hardware and optimization of algorithms, this innovative technology is expected to lead the transformation of next-generation artificial intelligence infrastructure.
