SHENZHEN, China, July 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MicroCloud Hologram Inc. (NASDAQ: HOLO), (“HOLO” or the "Company"), a technology service provider, launched a Deep Spiking Quantum Neural Network (DSQ-Net) for noisy image classification, marking an important engineering exploration in the direction of deep integration between quantum computing and neuromorphic computing.
This technology is based on HOLO's long-accumulated experience in quantum algorithms and neural network engineering. For the first time in an enterprise-level research and development framework, it systematically introduces a Variational Quantum Circuit (VQC) auxiliary training mechanism, constructing a novel hybrid quantum-classical deep learning system. Unlike previous studies that only used quantum circuits as feature mapping modules or quantum kernel functions, the core innovation of DSQ-Net lies in: directly embedding quantum circuits into the training process of Deep Spiking Neural Networks (SNN), serving as a key computational unit to address the problems of non-differentiable spiking events and stochastic neuronal dynamics, thereby reconstructing the trainability of SNN at the system level.
From the perspective of overall architecture, DSQ-Net adopts a clear hybrid quantum-classical layered design. The input end first receives noisy image data, and through a classical preprocessing module, encodes the pixel information into spatio-temporal spike sequences suitable for processing by spiking neurons. This process fully leverages the expressive advantage of SNN in the temporal dimension, such that image noise is no longer simply treated as an interference term, but is modeled and absorbed as part of the temporal signal.
Subsequently, the deep spiking neural network is responsible for extracting high-level spatio-temporal features. Unlike traditional convolutional neural networks that rely on continuous numerical values, this SNN forms event-driven feature representations that are robust to noise through the dynamic evolution of multi-layer spiking neurons. However, in the critical stages of weight updating and feature mapping, the system does not completely rely on classical training mechanisms; instead, it introduces variational quantum circuits as auxiliary optimization modules.
In HOLO's DSQ-Net, the quantum layer is not simply an add-on, but is designed as a computational component tightly coupled with the SNN. Specifically, the spike statistical features from the intermediate layers of the SNN are encoded into the amplitude space of the quantum state, and the high-dimensional spike distribution is compressed and mapped into the qubit state through amplitude encoding. Compared to angle encoding or basis state encoding, amplitude encoding has significant advantages in representation efficiency and information density, allowing a limited number of qubits to carry complex spike feature structures.
After encoding is completed, the parameterized variational quantum circuit evolves the quantum state. This circuit consists of multiple layers of tunable quantum gates, with its parameters being collaboratively updated by the classical optimizer along with the overall training objective. The quantum measurement results are treated as a probabilistic evaluation of the current network state, and this evaluation result in turn guides the update direction of the classical SNN weights. Through this mechanism, the originally non-differentiable spike firing process is indirectly embedded into a differentiable and tunable quantum optimization framework.
It is worth noting that this hybrid training strategy does not simply replace classical computation with quantum computation, but fully leverages the complementary advantages of both. The classical deep SNN is responsible for large-scale data processing and temporal feature modeling, while the quantum VQC undertakes efficient exploration of complex nonlinear relationships and stochastic structures. The two form a closed loop through parameter sharing and feedback mechanisms, enabling the entire network to automatically adapt to changes in noise distribution during the training process.
At the technical implementation level, in response to the current immature state of quantum hardware, HOLO adopted a high-fidelity quantum simulator to systematically validate DSQ-Net. This choice not only ensures the reproducibility of experimental results but also provides a clear technical path for future migration to real quantum hardware. In the simulation environment, multiple image datasets with different noise intensities and noise types were constructed, and the model's generalization capability was comprehensively evaluated.
The experimental results show that on unseen noisy test images, HOLO's DSQ-Net maintains a classification accuracy stably above 90%, significantly outperforming pure classical SNN models of equivalent scale. More importantly, as the noise level continues to increase, the performance degradation of DSQ-Net is noticeably slower, indicating that the quantum-assisted training mechanism plays a key role in suppressing noise interference and stabilizing feature representations.
The significance of this technology lies not only in the improvement of individual metrics, but more importantly in providing an entirely new technical paradigm for intelligent perception systems in high-noise environments. Whether in low-illumination industrial inspection, complex traffic environment perception, or edge intelligent devices under constrained computing power conditions, the robustness and structural flexibility demonstrated by HOLO's DSQ-Net possess significant engineering value.
In addition, this technology also holds potential advantages in terms of energy efficiency. Spiking neural networks themselves are event-driven at their core and are naturally suited for low-power implementation; meanwhile, the parallelism of quantum computing in exploring state space is expected to further reduce overall computational complexity in the future. As quantum hardware and neuromorphic chips continue to develop, the hybrid architecture represented by DSQ-Net is poised to become an important component of next-generation intelligent computing systems.
From a longer-term perspective, this technology also provides a new practical direction for the development of quantum machine learning. It is no longer limited to theoretical speed improvements or complexity advantages, but truly embeds quantum computing into one of the most challenging real-world learning problems—the joint modeling of noise, uncertainty, and non-differentiable dynamics. It can be foreseen that, with the continuous improvement of the relevant ecosystem, deep spiking quantum neural networks are expected to unleash greater potential in the field of intelligent computing, becoming an important bridge connecting quantum computing and neuromorphic intelligence.
