MicroCloud Hologram Inc. Develops Quantum Random Number Generator (QRNG) of the Superposition and Entanglement Properties Based on Quantum Walks

Published

on

SHENZHEN, China, Jan. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — MicroCloud Hologram Inc. (NASDAQ: HOLO), (“HOLO” or the “Company”), a technology service provider, they recently launched an innovative research achievement— a quantum random number generator (QRNG) of the properties of superposition and entanglement entirely based on quantum walks.

Quantum walks, as a process of quantum state evolution, possess unique properties of superposition and entanglement. HOLO has cleverly utilized these properties to construct the quantum random number generator (QRNG). Quantum walks offer several advantages, among which the ability to generate multiple bits from a single qubit is particularly noteworthy. In traditional random number generation methods, obtaining multiple bits from a single bit source faces many limitations, while quantum walks break through these constraints, greatly enhancing the efficiency and flexibility of random number generation.

In any practical system, the application of quantum walks has certain limitations. The practical limits are primarily determined by the number of quantum walk steps that can be achieved experimentally. For example, in experimental scenarios such as nuclear magnetic resonance, ion trapping, cold atoms, and photonic systems, the number of quantum walk steps is constrained by factors like the precision of experimental equipment and environmental noise interference. However, HOLO, through in-depth analysis and numerical simulations, has found that despite these limitations, the dynamics of quantum walks can still significantly enhance the randomness of the particle’s initial state.

In their research, HOLO considers a special form of randomness quantification in quantum systems, namely the inherent randomness of measurements, which has been quantified as coherent measurement. Through the study of coherent measurements, HOLO further clarifies the operational aspects of quantum coherence. Quantum coherence is one of the key characteristics that distinguish quantum systems from classical systems, and a deeper understanding of its operational aspects helps to better utilize quantum properties for random number generation.

Since the QRNG protocol proposed by HOLO is entirely based on discrete-time quantum walk (DTQW) dynamics, it requires good randomness metrics to be incorporated in both the position and coin spaces. In the theoretical framework of quantum walks, coin space and position space are two key concepts. The coin space is analogous to the probability distribution in classical random processes, while the position space describes the particle’s position state in space.

To assess the randomness associated with the coin space, HOLO employs a specific method. First, it is necessary to trace a portion of the Hilbert space related to the position space from the density matrix. The density matrix is a crucial tool in quantum mechanics for describing the state of a quantum system, and by manipulating it, information related to specific spaces can be extracted. After tracing out the portion related to the position space, HOLO can calculate the randomness described in the method section from the simplified density matrix. This calculation method, based on relevant theories in quantum information theory, enables accurate quantification of randomness in the coin space.

Similarly, by tracing the coin space, HOLO can calculate the randomness combined with the position space. Through separate calculations of the randomness in these two spaces and their comprehensive analysis, a thorough evaluation of the randomness quality of the quantum walk-based QRNG can be achieved. This dual consideration of randomness in both position and coin spaces makes the QRNG proposed by HOLO more comprehensive and reliable in terms of randomness generation.

Compared to traditional random number generation methods, HOLO’s quantum walk-based QRNG offers significant advantages. Traditional random number generators are often limited by algorithms and hardware, and the random numbers they generate have certain limitations in terms of randomness and unpredictability. In contrast, the quantum walk-based QRNG leverages the inherent properties of quantum systems to generate truly random numbers, whose randomness is not constrained by classical algorithms, offering higher security and reliability.

In practical applications, HOLO’s QRNG has broad prospects. In the field of cryptography, the security and randomness of random numbers are critical to encryption algorithms. The quantum walk-based QRNG can provide high-quality random keys for encryption algorithms, enhancing the security of cryptographic systems and effectively defending against various forms of attacks. In fields such as scientific computing and simulation, high-quality random numbers can also improve the accuracy and reliability of computational results, providing strong support for scientific research.

In the future, HOLO will continue to conduct in-depth research on quantum walk-based QRNG technology, constantly optimizing algorithms and experimental schemes, overcoming limitations in practical applications, and further improving the performance and stability of QRNGs.

The Finish Line that Changed China: Retracing the Long March to Yan’an

Published

on

By

BEIJING, July 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — A news report from China.org.cn on the Long March, and what it means for China today:

 

Every journey has a destination.

But some destinations become the beginning of something even greater.

This is Yan’an.

Over 90 years ago, an army of soldiers embarked from Yudu, Jiangxi Province, on a journey that would go down in history.

They crossed snow-capped mountains, vast grasslands and raging rivers, eventually arriving in northern Shaanxi.

Across this grueling 12,500-kilometer journey, they wrote a magnificent epic in human history with willpower and courage.

Here, their Long March came to a victorious end. But a new chapter of history was only beginning.

In Yan’an, the Red Army found time to recover and rebuild, and the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China regrouped, gathering strength for the next chapter.

Here, new ideas were debated, new strategies were shaped, and a vision for China’s future gradually took form.

Today, while preserving its revolutionary legacy, Yan’an has grown into a vibrant, modern city — with a greener environment, thriving industries and happier lives for its people.

Nearly 90 years ago, American journalist Edgar Snow came to northern Shaanxi, seeking to uncover a story that few outside China knew. He later chronicled it in his book “Red Star Over China,” which carried the story of the Long March to the world.

Today, people from around the world are once again retracing those steps.

As part of China International Communications Group (CICG)’s “Together on the Long March” international communication project, participants have spent more than a month retracing the route across six key regions.

From Jiangxi to Shaanxi, they followed the Red Army’s journey and witnessed the remarkable changes that have taken place along the way.

I asked them one simple question: What does this journey mean to you?

Zhavier Harris, marketing and communications manager at the Springfield Urban League, said conversations with local residents and descendants of the Red Army made history feel far more immediate than he had expected.

He said history isn’t as distant as we often think. “We’re only one or two generations from these great sacrifices that led to the development and the greatness that we see from the Communist Party of China and China as a whole.”

David Ferguson, honorary chief English editor at Foreign Languages Press under CICG and a recipient of the 2021 Chinese Government Friendship Award, said the journey deepened his understanding of the Long March.

He said the journey helped him understand not only the historical facts, but also what the Red Army endured. “If you see the Long March merely as a military campaign, it ended in Yan’an. But as a spirit, it has never truly come to an end.”

We came to retrace history. We leave with something more: a deeper understanding of China’s past, a clearer view of its present, and perhaps a greater appreciation for the stories that connect us across cultures.

Edgar Snow called the Long March “an Odyssey unequalled in modern times.” He believed that what sustained it was a flame — consisting of an undimmed ardor, an undying hope and an amazing revolutionary optimism.

Ninety years later, that flame still burns.

Passed down through generations, the spirit of the Long March continues to light China’s path forward.

And as it crosses borders and cultures, it offers the world a glimpse of a nation defined by resilience, perseverance and an enduring drive to move forward.
