SHENZHEN, China, Jan. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — MicroCloud Hologram Inc. (NASDAQ: HOLO), (“HOLO” or the “Company”), today announced the development and application of Quantum Nonlinear Optical Holography (QNOH) technology to directly generate spatially entangled qudits. This technology leverages the Spontaneous Parametric Down-Conversion (SPDC) process in quantum optics, precisely shaping the spatial quantum correlations of entangled photon pairs within a two-dimensional patterned nonlinear photonic crystal, without the need for complex pump shaping. This innovation not only breaks through the limitations of traditional optics but also offers unprecedented application prospects for quantum key distribution (QKD) and quantum computing based on spatial degrees of freedom.

Quantum Nonlinear Optical Holography technology combines the advantages of quantum optics, nonlinear optics, and holography, aiming to directly shape the spatial properties of quantum photons through nonlinear optical processes. Traditional nonlinear optical holography has been widely applied in the field of classical optics, particularly in areas such as information storage, beam control, and optical communication. However, its application in the quantum domain has been relatively scarce, as shaping quantum states typically requires higher precision and more complex interventions.

The key innovation of Quantum Nonlinear Optical Holography technology is its ability to directly generate spatially entangled qudits through the Spontaneous Parametric Down-Conversion process, overcoming the limitations of conventional quantum optical techniques. A qudit is a high-dimensional quantum system, which, compared to the traditional qubit, has more degrees of freedom and can store more information. Therefore, it holds greater promise for applications in quantum computing and quantum communication.

The core implementation of HOLO’s Quantum Nonlinear Optical Holography technology relies on the Spontaneous Parametric Down-Conversion process. In this process, a single high-energy photon enters a nonlinear optical medium (such as a BBO crystal) and, through interaction with the crystal, splits into two lower-energy photons, which are referred to as the signal photon and the idler photon. These two photons exhibit quantum entanglement, meaning their states are tightly correlated, regardless of the spatial distance between them.

Unlike traditional quantum optical technologies, this technique uses a two-dimensional patterned nonlinear photonic crystal. In such a crystal, photons can be precisely controlled in predefined spatial degrees of freedom. By manipulating the patterned structure of the crystal, the spatial quantum correlations of the entangled photon pairs can be directionally shaped, thereby generating the desired quantum states.

What sets HOLO’s Quantum Nonlinear Optical Holography technology apart is that it does not require complex pump light shaping. Traditional quantum optical systems typically rely on specific shapes and frequency adjustments of the pump light source to ensure that the generated quantum states meet the desired criteria. However, QNOH technology achieves direct manipulation of the spatial properties of entangled photon pairs by controlling the structure and material properties of the nonlinear photonic crystal, making the process more efficient and stable.

In traditional quantum information processing, the quantum bit (qubit) is widely used as the basic unit. However, the computational and storage capacity of a qubit is limited by its binary states (0 or 1). In contrast, a qudit (a high-dimensional quantum system) can process information in higher dimensions, offering greater potential for quantum computing and quantum communication.

One of the biggest breakthroughs of HOLO technology is its ability to generate spatially entangled qudits. By precisely controlling the design of the photonic crystal, the technical team successfully endowed photon pairs with multiple degrees of freedom within a two-dimensional space, allowing each entangled photon pair to move beyond traditional binary states and expand into higher dimensions. These quantum states can manifest as different quantum modes and frequencies, significantly enhancing the capacity and diversity of the quantum system.

HOLO’s Quantum Nonlinear Optical Holography technology generates spatially entangled qudits through the following steps:

Photon Source Selection and Control: Through the precisely designed nonlinear photonic crystal, an appropriate pump light source is chosen to excite the signal and idler photons in the Spontaneous Parametric Down-Conversion process. These photon pairs are highly entangled and can be precisely controlled in spatial degrees of freedom.

2D Patterned Crystal Design: A two-dimensional patterned nonlinear photonic crystal is used to control the propagation paths and interactions of photons within the crystal, allowing the spatial quantum correlations of the signal and idler photon pairs to be shaped according to design requirements. This structure not only enhances the stability of quantum entanglement but also enables information encoding and decoding across different dimensions.

Shaping Spatial Quantum Correlations: By adjusting the phase and amplitude at different positions within the photonic crystal, the spatial correlations of the generated entangled photon pairs are ensured to match the desired quantum state. This allows the quantum information of the photons to be transmitted in a more efficient and multidimensional manner.

Quantum State Verification: Experimental verification shows that the quantum states generated by this technology not only possess spatial quantum correlations but also violate the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt (CHSH) inequality, proving their entangled nature. According to the fundamental principles of quantum mechanics, the violation of this inequality indicates the authenticity of quantum information and the validity of quantum entanglement.

The successful development of HOLO’s QNOH technology has brought a significant breakthrough to the fields of quantum key distribution (QKD) and quantum communication. Entanglement-based quantum key distribution is one of the core technologies in quantum communication today, ensuring the security of key exchange through the properties of quantum entanglement. The high-dimensional entangled qudits generated by the QNOH technology can provide higher key transmission rates and stronger resistance to interference, thereby enhancing the security and efficiency of quantum communication networks.

Additionally, HOLO’s QNOH technology is also noteworthy for its application in quantum computing. Since quantum computing can process information in high-dimensional quantum states, the generation of qudits will greatly improve the parallelism and efficiency of quantum computing. Traditional quantum computing uses quantum bits for computation, while high-dimensional qudits can store more information and perform more complex computational tasks, thereby accelerating the execution of quantum algorithms.

HOLO’s Quantum Nonlinear Optical Holography technology not only brings new possibilities to quantum communication and quantum computing but also paves the way for the future development of quantum information science. In the future, as this technology continues to improve, it may find broader applications in fields such as quantum networks, quantum encryption, and quantum simulation.

In future research, optimizing the design of two-dimensional photonic crystals to further enhance the efficiency and stability of spatially entangled qudit generation will become a key issue in the field of quantum optics. Meanwhile, Quantum Nonlinear Optical Holography technology is also expected to integrate with other quantum technologies, such as quantum sensing and quantum imaging, opening up more application scenarios in the field of quantum science.

The successful development of Quantum Nonlinear Optical Holography technology marks a significant advancement in the field of quantum optics. By precisely generating spatially entangled qudits, this technology offers a fresh perspective and more powerful tools for various fields, including quantum communication, quantum computing, and quantum information processing. As quantum technology continues to mature, quantum networks and quantum computers in the future are expected to enter a new era of greater efficiency and security, driven by this innovative technology.

Northern Hemisphere Heat Drives Demand for Cooling and Sun-Protection Products on Yiwugo

Published

on

July 24, 2026

By

YIWU, China, July 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Yiwugo.com, the official website of the Yiwu Commodity Market, is the largest commodity wholesale market in the world. The final whistle may have blown on the World Cup, but the intense heat gripping the Northern Hemisphere shows no sign of letting up. Europe has experienced unusually hot weather this year, sparking not only a surge in demand for air conditioners but also a boom in portable handheld fans. Merchants on Yiwugo say that in previous years, European customers would begin placing orders in March or April and take their time completing their annual procurement. This year, however, the purchasing season has stretched well into summer, with a flood of new buyers coming in, most of them looking for small handheld fans. With customers eager to capitalize on the peak summer season, delivery timelines have also become significantly tighter. Whereas orders in previous years could generally be fulfilled within a month, merchants are now frequently being asked to deliver within about a week, leaving manufacturers scrambling to keep pace with demand.

Lingpan Official Flagship Store has specialized in the production and sales of small fans, insulated cups, and related products for 15 years. This summer, demand from European customers for high-speed small fans has risen sharply, accompanied by urgent delivery requirements. Many customers began requesting shipment just one week after placing their orders, hoping the products would arrive in time for the World Cup and the ongoing heatwave across Europe. One long-standing European customer purchased only five models of small fans from Lingpan last year. Anticipating stronger demand ahead of this summer, the customer expanded the order to 10 models. The first shipment sold out soon after arriving at port, prompting several subsequent repeat orders. European buyers have shown particular interest in high-speed cooling fans and placed great requirements on product quality. So far this year, Lingpan’s fan sales have more than doubled compared with the same period last year, with total purchases reaching approximately RMB 1 million.

Beyond Europe, the owner of Lingpan, Ling Pan pointed out that the Indian market has also undergone significant changes over the past two years. Indian customers are showing great interest in panda-shaped fans, drinking cups, and related products. Procurement volumes among many Indian buyers have increased substantially, with average annual purchases now reaching several hundred thousand yuan.

Unlike European countries grappling with sudden heat waves, Asian markets such as Japan and South Korea, where summers are consistently hot and air conditioners and fans are already everyday essentials, have shown much stronger demand for sun-protection products. From April 1, 2026 to date, sales of sun-protection masks on Yiwugo have increased by 31.6% YoY, while sales of sun-protection face shields surged by 72.42% and sun hats rose by 8.1%.

Chen Jia, a Yiwugo merchant, has engaged in the production and sales of sun-protection masks and sun-protection face shields for eight years. Chen operates the Xiao Zhen and Xiao Mian Sun-Protection Products Workshop in District 4 of the Yiwu International Trade Market. In recent years, the company has customized cooling nylon fabrics for customers in Japan and South Korea. Sun-protection masks and sun-protection face shields made from this material not only offer UPF 50+ protection, but also maintain a more structured shape and are less susceptible to snagging or deformation. Their protective performance remains effective after routine washing, and the products can last for more than five years under normal use.

In 2024, a TV shopping operator from South Korea contacted Xiao Zheng and Xiao Mian through Yiwugo and began placing orders after inspecting the products in person. Over the following two years, the company continued to improve the fitness and design of its sun-protection products. It introduced sun-protection face shields with breathable mesh panels and incorporated soft supports around the nose area to prevent the masks from rubbing against lipstick. These product upgrades have steadily driven up customer ratings on the client’s store. Annual procurement, initially valued at around RMB 300,000, has risen year by year, and the company has since developed into a recognized brand in the local market.

Persistent heat across the Northern Hemisphere has been creating new forms of cross-border consumer demand while enabling Yiwugo merchants to keenly capture shifts in overseas markets. From the strong sales of small portable fans in Europe to the rising demand for functional sun-protection products in Japan and South Korea, the diversity of orders reflects both consumers’ need for relief from extreme heat and the ability of Yiwu manufacturers to strengthen their presence in global markets through product innovation and rapid fulfillment. Faced with a rapidly changing international market, many merchants are continuing to refine product designs, upgrade fabric techniques, and enhance supply efficiency. By leveraging Yiwugo to broaden their export channels, they are keeping pace with overseas consumption trends and capitalizing on the expanding market for cooling and sun-protection products, turning the summer heat into new momentum for cross-border trade.

Payzli Vaults to No. 3 on Tampa Bay’s Fast 50, Up From No. 22 in One Year

Published

8 minutes ago

on

July 24, 2026

By

Payments technology company, Payzli earns a second consecutive Fast 50 ranking, crediting the climb to accelerating partner and merchant growth on its proprietary technology stack.

TAMPA, Fla., July 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Payzli, the partner-first payments technology company, has been named the No. 3 fastest-growing company in the region on the Tampa Bay Business Journal’s 2026 Fast 50 – a 19-spot climb from its No. 22 debut last year, and the company’s second consecutive year on the list.

The ranking was announced July 23 at the Tampa Bay Business Journal’s Fast 50 event in Tampa, where Co-Founder and Chief Revenue Officer Naim Hamdar accepted the award alongside members of the Payzli team.

Payzli attributed its growth to a compounding effect: a national network of ISOs, agents and ISVs bringing merchants onto a technology platform Payzli built and operated in-house. 

That platform rests on three proprietary pillars:

Payzli Connect: the company’s payment CRM and merchant-and-partner dashboard, giving agents and ISOs daily residuals visibility and giving merchants a single place to run their account.Payzli POS: AI-powered point-of-sale and business software purpose-built for service businesses, including salons, med spas, wellness studios, and independent operators.Payzli Transact: an online payment gateway built on Visa Platform Connect through Payzli’s partnership with Visa Acceptance Solutions.

The Visa Acceptance Solutions partnership is central to how Payzli frames its credibility: rather than assembling a growth story on top of borrowed infrastructure, the company processes on rails backed by one of the most established networks in the industry alongside Fiserv and TSYS – a point that matters to the partners and merchants deciding where to place their volume.

“A second year on this list, and a jump to No. 3, isn’t about one good quarter. It’s about a network deciding to build with us and stay,” said Naim Hamdar, Co-Founder and Chief Revenue Officer of Payzli. “Every rank on this list represents partners we’ve earned and merchants who trust us to run their payments. We built the technology in-house so we could keep the promises the industry usually breaks: nothing hidden, a real person in reach, and daily residual visibility our agents can actually count on. That’s what this ranking measures and it’s why we’re doing it all, for the joy of business.”

“They say nothing in Tampa moves fast except the afternoon thunderstorms, so making the Fast 50 two years running feels pretty good,” said Kapil Pershad, Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer of Payzli. “In all seriousness, this is a credit to our team and the businesses that trust us to power their growth.”

The Fast 50, produced by the Tampa Bay Business Journal, recognizes the fastest-growing private companies in the Tampa Bay region. Payzli’s return to the list and its move into the top three reflects a merchant-first product suite and a rapidly expanding national partner network across the payments and embedded-finance landscape.
