BEIJING, Dec. 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- WiMi Hologram Cloud Inc. (NASDAQ: WiMi) ("WiMi" or the "Company"), a leading global Hologram Augmented Reality ("AR") Technology provider, today announced that they announced the development of a new design solution based on FPGA to simulate quantum computing concepts, aiming to provide a more practical and feasible approach for quantum computing research and applications. Quantum computing is based on the principles of quantum mechanics and operates using qubits, offering the potential to surpass classical computers in solving certain specific problems. Although the hardware implementation of quantum computers remains challenging, the unique advantage of quantum computing lies in its parallel processing capabilities and efficiency in solving complex problems. FPGA, as a highly configurable hardware platform, can simulate the fundamental principles of quantum computing at the logical level, providing an effective means to validate and test quantum computing concepts.

WiMi's design solution for simulating quantum computing concepts based on FPGA includes:

FPGA Implementation of Quantum Gate Operations: The fundamental unit of quantum computing is the quantum gate. WiMi has implemented the logical operations of these quantum gates on FPGA. By combining these basic gates, complex quantum algorithms can be simulated.

Parallel Processing Architecture: Traditional sequential logic circuit design methods are inefficient when handling complex problems. While parallel circuit design can increase processing speed, it often requires more hardware resources. WiMi's solution integrates the parallel processing concept of quantum computing to build a new parallel architecture on FPGA, enhancing computation speed while effectively controlling hardware resource consumption.

Resource Optimization: FPGA resources include lookup tables (LUTs), flip-flops (FFs), and block RAM. During the design process, efficient use of FPGA resources is crucial. By applying proper resource allocation and optimization algorithms, WiMi minimizes hardware resource usage while improving overall performance.

Circuit Synthesis and Simulation: WiMi has developed an automated circuit synthesis tool that converts high-level quantum computing descriptions into FPGA logic implementations. Through simulation and verification, the solution ensures the correctness and efficiency of circuit designs.

WiMi's FPGA-based design solution for simulating quantum computing concepts offers significant advantages over traditional solutions. For example, a binary function parity-check circuit was implemented and compared across different approaches. Parity checking, a fundamental error detection method, is widely used in data communication and storage systems. The circuit was implemented using a traditional solution, a parallel solution, and a quantum computing-based solution, and their performances were compared.
