SHENZHEN, China, May 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — MicroAlgo Inc. (the “Company” or “MicroAlgo”) (NASDAQ: MLGO), they announced today their research on quantum visual computing, exploring the integration of quantum computing with classical convolutional neural networks. They are developing a Quantum Convolutional Neural Network (QCNN) architecture to enhance the performance of traditional computer vision tasks using quantum mechanics principles.

The Quantum Convolutional Neural Network (QCNN) architecture is an innovative computational model that cleverly combines the parallelism of quantum computing with the feature extraction capabilities of classical convolutional neural networks. In QCNN, quantum bits (qubits) serve as the basic carrier of information, utilizing the properties of quantum superposition and entanglement to achieve parallel processing of multiple computational tasks. At the same time, drawing inspiration from the structure of classical convolutional neural networks—such as convolution layers, pooling layers, and fully connected layers—QCNN extracts features, reduces dimensions, and classifies image data, thereby enhancing both computational speed and image recognition accuracy.

Computer vision aims to enable computers to understand and analyze visual data, such as images or videos, much like the human visual system, involving tasks such as image recognition, object detection, and image segmentation. Quantum computing, with its unique quantum properties like superposition and entanglement, possesses powerful parallel computing capabilities and specialized methods of information processing.

Data Preparation: Image or video data is collected from multiple channels, then screened and organized to remove low-quality or non-compliant data. The remaining data is preprocessed, including normalizing pixel values, resizing images, and correcting and enhancing colors to meet the specifications for subsequent processing.

Quantum State Encoding: Following specific rules, the preprocessed image features are mapped onto quantum bits and converted into quantum states. By utilizing the properties of quantum superposition and entanglement, relationships between features are established, forming a complex network of feature associations.

Quantum Convolutional Neural Network (QCNN) Processing: The quantum convolutional layer takes advantage of quantum parallelism, using multiple convolutional kernels to extract features represented by quantum states and uncover deeper features. The quantum pooling layer performs dimensionality reduction on the extracted features, retaining key features while alleviating the computational burden in subsequent stages. The quantum fully connected layer analyzes the reduced features and classifies them based on quantum state correlations.

Quantum Measurement and Output: Through appropriate quantum measurement operations, the quantum state results are converted into classical data forms. Outputs such as target categories, locations, and other relevant information are provided, while the entire process is optimized based on application feedback.

MicroAlgo’s QCNN architecture has broad application prospects in the field of computer vision. In autonomous driving, QCNN can enable fast and accurate recognition of key elements such as road signs, vehicles, and pedestrians, enhancing the safety and reliability of autonomous driving systems. In medical imaging analysis, QCNN can achieve rapid and accurate diagnosis of medical images, assisting doctors in disease diagnosis and treatment planning. In security surveillance, QCNN can enable real-time detection and early warning of abnormal behavior in surveillance videos, improving the efficiency and accuracy of security measures. Additionally, QCNN can be widely applied in various fields such as smart manufacturing, aerospace, and smart cities, driving technological upgrades and intelligent transformations in related industries.

LONGPORT Whale, with proven track record across 100+ institutional clients in Asia, makes its Malaysia debut at Bursa Malaysia Stockbroking Trade Fair 2026

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, May 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LONGPORT Whale, a provider of AI-Ready securities trading infrastructure, is making its entry into the Malaysian market at the Bursa Malaysia Stockbroking Trade Fair 2026. The move comes as Malaysia’s Capital Market Masterplan 2026–2030 (CMP4) continues to hone in on local brokerages to modernise core systems, balancing investor experience, regulatory compliance, and operational resilience simultaneously.

Malaysian brokerages are increasingly confronted by a challenge that goes beyond front-end upgrades. Legacy architectures struggle to keep pace with digital-native investor expectations, rising cybersecurity standards, and the demand for multi-market expansion simultaneously. For many such brokerages, the question is no longer whether to modernize, but how to do so without adding complexity or disrupting the business continuity that clients depend on.

Zhong Hua, CEO, LONGPORT Whale, said, “Core trading infrastructure must support continuous evolution — in investor experience, compliance, and AI readiness — without adding unnecessary complexity. The brokerages that lead the next decade won’t be the ones with the best system today; they’ll be the ones whose systems are designed to keep getting better. LONGPORT Whale aims to bring its Asia-proven experience to help Malaysian brokers strike that balance.”

Built on a cloud-native microservices architecture and trusted by more than 100 institutional clients in Asia, Whale’s platform is engineered by industry professionals and refined through years of first-hand operational experience. For the Malaysian market, it addresses four priorities: a best-in-class trading experience validated across competitive, highly regulated markets in Asia; system resilience and performance built for institutional scale, with high system performance and output, real time risk management, and low system latency; global market connectivity spanning Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong SAR, US, and Japan without requiring system rebuilds; and an API-first, data-unified architecture that gives brokerages a practical foundation for AI adoption.

Hong Kong SAR and Singapore, where Whale serves online brokers, traditional banking firms, banks and wealth management institutes in a stringent regulatory environment, serve as the primary reference market for its Malaysia expansion. The company said it aims to work with local industry participants as both an infrastructure partner and a contributor to broader conversation on responsible modernization under CMP4.

SINGAPORE, May 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Thunes, the Smart Superhighway to move money around the world, has joined forces with Vodacom Tanzania, the country’s leading telco company, to transform cross-border trade and digital financial inclusion with Vodacom’s new M-Pesa Global Payment solution. Thanks to the collaboration, Vodacom customers in Tanzania can now seamlessly pay merchants in Uganda and China directly from their mobile phones.

This milestone solution responds to growing demand from Tanzanian traders who engage in commerce with Ugandan and Chinese markets but often face challenges with costly, slow, and insecure payment methods. With this innovation, leveraging the Thunes Direct Global Network, Vodacom aims to bridge those gaps, offering secure, real-time digital payments across borders and reinforcing its leadership in mobile money innovation in Africa.

The solution supports trade with two key markets for Tanzania. For eight consecutive years, China has been Tanzania’s largest trading partner, with bilateral trade hitting $8.8 billion in 2024. In the same year, bilateral trade between Tanzania and Uganda reached approximately $2.23 billion, an increase of 64% on the previous year.

Epimack Mbeteni, M-Pesa Director at Vodacom Tanzania said: “This is more than just a payment feature, it is a catalyst for economic empowerment and a gateway for small and medium businesses and entrepreneurs in Tanzania to compete and thrive in regional and global markets. Through Thunes’ expansive and trusted Network we are enabling seamless, secure, and affordable cross-border payments that empower people, fuel trade and place M-Pesa at the center of Africa’s digital commerce future.”

Through Thunes’ Direct Global Network, customers can now send payments to merchants in Uganda using MTN MoMo and to Chinese merchants through the Alipay network, all through the M-Pesa USSD menu or the M-Pesa Super App. The process is secure, user-friendly, and eliminates the burden of traditional banking barriers for everyday traders and businesses.

Dawei Wang, SVP Network at Thunes, added: “Vodacom Tanzania joining the Thunes Direct Global Network to digitise cross-border payments is a game changer for local businesses. By combining Vodacom’s technology with Thunes’ trusted and proprietary Network, Tanzanian customers can pay partners in China and Uganda in real time. This innovation accelerates interoperability along with international trade and business growth and supports our vision of connecting the next billion end users to the global economy.”

This initiative stands as a strategic enabler for consumers and micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) who need reliable and quick financial tools such as mobile money. A 2025 GeoPoll survey on Tanzania Financial Services and Usage found that 94% of the survey’s respondents use mobile money.

The Thunes and Vodacom Tanzania alliance is set to transform the lives of millions of consumers by dismantling cross-border barriers. By hyper-connecting Tanzania to global powerhouses like China and streamlining intra-African trade, the collaboration is helping to build an inclusive economy and grow Tanzania’s role as a force in the global market.
