MicroAlgo Inc. Develops Classifier Auto-Optimization Technology Based on Variational Quantum Algorithms, Accelerating the Advancement of Quantum Machine Learning

Published

SHENZHEN, China, May 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — MicroAlgo Inc. (the “Company” or “MicroAlgo”) (NASDAQ: MLGO) announced today the launch of their latest classifier auto-optimization technology based on Variational Quantum Algorithms (VQA). This technology significantly reduces the complexity of parameter updates during training through deep optimization of the core circuit, markedly improving computational efficiency. Compared to other quantum classifiers, this optimized model has lower complexity and incorporates advanced regularization techniques, effectively preventing model overfitting and enhancing the classifier’s generalization capability. The introduction of this technology marks a significant step forward in the practical application of quantum machine learning.

Traditional quantum classifiers can theoretically leverage the advantages of quantum computing to accelerate machine learning tasks, but they still face numerous challenges in practical applications. Firstly, current mainstream quantum classifiers often require deep quantum circuits to achieve efficient feature mapping, which results in high optimization complexity for quantum parameters during training. Additionally, as the volume of training data increases, the computational load for parameter updates grows rapidly, leading to prolonged training times and impacting the model’s practicality.

MicroAlgo’s classifier auto-optimization technology significantly reduces computational complexity through deep optimization of the core circuit. This approach improves upon two key aspects: circuit design and optimization algorithms. In terms of circuit design, the technology adopts a streamlined quantum circuit structure, reducing the number of quantum gates and thereby lowering the consumption of computational resources. On the optimization algorithm front, this classifier auto-optimization model employs an innovative parameter update strategy, making parameter adjustments more efficient and substantially accelerating training speed.

In the training process of classifiers based on variational quantum algorithms (VQA), parameter optimization is one of the most critical steps. Generally, VQA classifiers rely on Parameterized Quantum Circuits (PQC), where updating each parameter requires computing gradients to adjust the circuit structure and minimize the loss function. However, the deeper the quantum circuit, the more complex the parameter space becomes, requiring optimization algorithms to perform more iterations to achieve convergence. Furthermore, uncertainties and noise in quantum measurements can also affect the training process, making it difficult for the model to optimize stably.

Traditional optimization methods often employ strategies such as Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) or Variational Quantum Natural Gradient (VQNG) to find optimal parameters. However, these methods still face challenges such as high computational complexity, slow convergence rates, and a tendency to get trapped in local optima. Therefore, reducing the computational burden of parameter updates and improving training stability have become key factors in enhancing the performance of VQA classifiers.

MicroAlgo’s classifier auto-optimization technology, based on variational quantum algorithms, significantly reduces the computational complexity of parameter updates through deep optimization of the core circuit. It also incorporates innovative regularization techniques to enhance the stability and generalization capability of the training process. The core breakthroughs of this technology include the following aspects:

Depth Optimization of Quantum Circuits to Reduce Computational Complexity: In traditional VQA classifier designs, the number of layers in the quantum circuit directly impacts computational complexity. To lower computational costs, MicroAlgo employs an Adaptive Circuit Pruning (ACP) method during optimization. This approach dynamically adjusts the circuit structure, eliminating redundant parameters while preserving the classifier’s expressive power. As a result, the number of parameters required during training is significantly reduced, leading to a substantial decrease in computational complexity.

Hamiltonian Transformation Optimization (HTO): Additionally, MicroAlgo introduces an optimization method based on Hamiltonian transformations. By altering the Hamiltonian representation of the variational quantum circuit, this technique shortens the search path within the parameter space, thereby improving optimization efficiency. Experimental results demonstrate that this method can reduce computational complexity by at least an order of magnitude while maintaining classification accuracy.

Novel Regularization Strategy to Enhance Training Stability and Generalization Capability: In classical machine learning, regularization methods are widely used to prevent model overfitting. In the realm of quantum machine learning, MicroAlgo introduces a novel quantum regularization strategy called Quantum Entanglement Regularization (QER). This method dynamically adjusts the strength of quantum entanglement during training, preventing the model from overfitting the training data and thereby improving the classifier’s generalization ability on unseen data.

Additionally, an optimization strategy based on the Energy Landscape is incorporated, which adjusts the shape of the loss function during training. This enables the optimization algorithm to more quickly identify the global optimum, reducing the impact of local optima.

Enhanced Noise Robustness for Real Quantum Computing Environments: Given that current Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) devices still exhibit significant noise levels, a model’s noise resilience is critical. To improve the classifier’s robustness, MicroAlgo proposes a technique based on Variational Quantum Error Correction (VQEC). This method actively learns noise patterns during training and adjusts circuit parameters to mitigate noise effects. This strategy markedly enhances the classifier’s stability in noisy environments, making its performance on real quantum devices more reliable.

MicroAlgo’s classifier auto-optimization technology, based on variational quantum algorithms, successfully reduces the computational complexity of parameter updates through deep optimization of the core circuit and the introduction of novel regularization methods. This approach significantly boosts training speed and generalization capability. This breakthrough technology not only demonstrates its effectiveness in theory but also exhibits superior performance in simulation experiments, laying a crucial foundation for the advancement of quantum machine learning.

As quantum computing hardware continues to advance, this technology will further expand its application domains in the future, accelerating the practical implementation of quantum intelligent computing and propelling quantum computing into a new stage of real-world utility. In an era where quantum computing and artificial intelligence converge, this innovation will undoubtedly serve as a significant milestone in advancing the frontiers of technology.

Published

on

By

HAMILTON, Bermuda, Oct. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — ShaMaran Petroleum Ltd. (“ShaMaran” or the “Company”) (Euronext Growth Oslo: SNM) (Nasdaq First North Stockholm: SNM) announces the expansion of the Company’s strategic collaboration with HKN Energy (“HKN”) into Federal Iraq. Building on their joint ventures across the Atrush and Sarsang oil fields in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, HKN and ShaMaran are extending their cooperation into Federal Iraq through the Hamrin oil development and production contract (“DPC”). PDF Version 

As part of this expansion, ShaMaran will have a 25% shareholding in HKN Hamrin Ltd. (the “Hamrin JV”), the joint venture company holding 100% of the Hamrin DPC. HKN, as the operator of the field, will leverage its operational expertise and established relationship with ShaMaran to advance a major long-term development program.

The Hamrin field is a large discovered and producing oil field previously operated by North Oil Company, an Iraqi state-owned oil company. HKN and ShaMaran will further develop the field with the aim of increasing production above the current 20 Mbopd to maximize recovery over the 25-year term of the DPC. The operator’s and management’s current estimate of remaining gross reserves and resources is in the range of 500 million to one billion barrels. The initial phase of development will target lifting field production to approximately 60 Mbopd by 2028. Further phases of development could target more than doubling those initial production levels, with currently estimated capex for later phases in the range of $2-3 per incremental barrel.

Garrett Soden, Chief Executive Officer of ShaMaran, commented, “The Hamrin investment is a natural extension of our cooperation with HKN, the operator of our two existing assets in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. The Hamrin field in Federal Iraq is complementary to our existing Kurdistan production and reserves profile, and we expect material synergies from having the same team operate all three assets. Together with HKN, we are committed to increasing Hamrin production to create significant value for Iraq and our shareholders.”

The Hamrin JV farm-in consideration comprises a $35 million carry by ShaMaran of HKN’s share of initial costs in the Hamrin co-venture, with a further $15 million payable out of future cash flow once ShaMaran has recovered its initial investment and carry in full.

Financing – Contemplated Bond Issuance

Elvis Pellumbi, Chief Financial Officer of ShaMaran, commented, “On the back of the attractive Hamrin investment, we are looking to raise a new bond to better reflect the improved credit profile of our expanded asset portfolio, fund Hamrin growth capex and reduce interest costs. We see increased near-term cash flow from our existing assets due to the tri-party export agreement coupled with an enhanced long-term outlook from the addition of future Hamrin cash flows.”

ShaMaran has mandated Pareto Securities AS to be sole bookrunner and manager for a contemplated bond of up to $200 million in order to refinance its existing 2029 bond (ISIN NO0011057622) that has approximately $144 million currently outstanding. The proceeds from the new bond will be used to fund ShaMaran’s share of the Hamrin investment and for general corporate purposes. The Company will host fixed income investor meetings, and a bond issuance may follow subject to market conditions and acceptable terms. It is the Company’s intention to exercise the applicable call option in the existing bond upon successful issuance of the contemplated new bond.
