MicroCloud Hologram Inc. (NASDAQ: HOLO) announced the development of dedicated processor hardware that simulates quantum algorithms using classical logic gates. The technology company stated it has achieved functional verification on FPGA platforms for the quantum simulation architecture.

The hardware design utilizes classical components including AND gates, OR gates, NOT gates, adders, and multipliers to simulate quantum state evolution and measurement processes. According to the company, the system transforms quantum simulation into parallel and pipelined execution on classical hardware, addressing limitations of traditional software simulators.

The architecture includes quantum state memory that stores qubit states and multi-qubit entanglement using high-speed SRAM arrays. For n qubits, the system stores 2^n complex amplitude values in fixed-point or floating-point format. The memory incorporates multi-port access logic and a state normalization module.

A control unit manages system operations through microprogrammed design, pre-compiling quantum algorithm gate sequences into micro-instruction sequences stored in control memory. The company stated this allows dynamic loading of control codes for different quantum algorithms through external interfaces.

MicroCloud Hologram reported that simulation verification showed the hardware's gate execution speed is two orders of magnitude faster than software simulators for systems containing 30 qubits, with power consumption controlled within one-fifth of traditional GPU simulators.

The company plans to integrate neural network accelerators with quantum simulation units and incorporate programmable noise injection logic to simulate NISQ device characteristics. MicroCloud Hologram provides holographic technology services and quantum computing research, reporting cash reserves exceeding 3 billion RMB with plans to invest more than $400 million in quantum computing and related technologies.
