MicroAlgo Inc. Develops Hybrid Classical-Quantum Algorithms to Optimize Multi-Query Problems

In This Article:

SHENZHEN, China, Jan. 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- MicroAlgo Inc. (the "Company" or "MicroAlgo") (NASDAQ: MLGO), today announced the development of an innovative hybrid algorithm that combines the advantages of classical and quantum computing to optimize Multi-Query Optimization (MQO) problems.

Quantum computing is a technology that uses the principles of quantum mechanics to process information. Compared to traditional classical computers, quantum computers exhibit the potential to outperform classical computers in handling certain types of problems, such as search, optimization, and simulating quantum systems. However, the realization of quantum computers faces technical challenges, particularly in constructing quantum computers with a sufficient number of qubits and low error rates.

The Multi-Query Optimization (MQO) problem is a class of data-intensive problems that are NP-hard, and it has applications in many fields such as database query optimization, machine learning algorithms, and network routing. The core of the MQO problem lies in how to effectively handle multiple query requests to minimize the overall computational cost or time.

Although quantum computers theoretically have tremendous potential, current quantum computers are far from being fully practical. The limited number of qubits and high error rates restrict their ability to solve large-scale problems. To address these issues, MicroAlgo has proposed a hybrid algorithm that combines the stability of classical computers with the efficiency of quantum computers.

MicroAlgo's hybrid algorithm design is based on the following key points:

Efficient Use of Qubits: Through carefully designed quantum circuits, the algorithm ensures efficient utilization of qubits, achieving a qubit efficiency close to 99%.

Reduction of Error Rates: By integrating error correction mechanisms from classical algorithms, the error rate during the quantum computation process is significantly reduced.

Scalability of the Algorithm: The algorithm design by MicroAlgo takes scalability into account, enabling it to adapt to problems of varying sizes.

Compatibility with Existing Technologies: MicroAlgo's algorithm is compatible with existing gate-based quantum computers, meaning it can run on current hardware.

MicroAlgo's hybrid algorithm first transforms the MQO problem into a form that can be handled by quantum computing. Quantum circuits are designed to perform the necessary quantum operations, including quantum state preparation, application of quantum gates, and quantum measurement. Then, during the quantum computation process, classical computers are used to assist the quantum computation, such as in qubit error correction and post-processing of the results. Through experiments and simulations, the algorithm's performance is continuously optimized to ensure optimal performance with limited qubit resources.
