MicroCloud Hologram Inc. Achieves Breakthrough in Practically Deployable Quantum Recurrent Neural Network (QRNN) Technology Oriented Toward Sequential Learning

SHENZHEN, China, March 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — MicroCloud Hologram Inc. (NASDAQ: HOLO), (“HOLO” or the “Company”), a technology service provider, released a core quantum machine learning technology oriented toward sequential learning tasks—the Quantum Recurrent Neural Network (QRNN) for sequential learning. This technology revolves around the hardware-efficient construction of the Quantum Recurrent Block (QRB), and through an interleaved stacking network design paradigm, it systematically addresses the engineering bottleneck that makes quantum recurrent models difficult to run on noisy intermediate-scale quantum devices (NISQ), marking a key step forward in the standardization and deployability of quantum deep learning models.

For a long time, quantum neural networks have been widely regarded as an important bridge connecting quantum computing and artificial intelligence. Compared with classical neural networks, quantum neural networks can utilize quantum superposition, entanglement, and high-dimensional Hilbert spaces to express more complex function structures under constrained parameter scales. However, in the field of sequential modeling, although recurrent neural networks have become classical architectures in tasks such as natural language processing, time series prediction, and signal analysis, how to effectively map core mechanisms such as “recurrence,” “memory,” and “temporal dependency” into the quantum computing framework has always lacked a unified, reproducible, and hardware-friendly solution. This status quo has, to a large extent, constrained the application of quantum machine learning in real-world sequential data scenarios.

HOLO, precisely based on this industry pain point, has systematically re-examined the construction logic of quantum recurrent neural networks. HOLO researchers point out that existing partial quantum recurrent models either overly rely on idealized assumptions about quantum operations or are difficult to adapt to current quantum hardware in terms of circuit depth and entanglement structure, resulting in good performance in simulation but difficulty in running on real devices. To address this, the team, starting from the three engineering principles of “modularity,” “repeatability,” and “low coherent time consumption,” proposed redefining the construction of quantum recurrent networks by using the Quantum Recurrent Block (QRB) as the basic unit.

The Quantum Recurrent Block is one of the core innovations of this technology. Unlike the holistic variational circuits commonly seen in traditional quantum neural networks, QRB is designed as a highly structured, parameter-controlled quantum subcircuit module for characterizing the information update process at a single time step in a sequence. Each QRB adopts a hardware-efficient gate set structure in its physical implementation, fully taking into account the limitations of current mainstream superconducting and ion-trap quantum computing platforms regarding the number of two-qubit gates, connectivity topology, and noise characteristics. In this way, while maintaining sufficient expressive power, QRB avoids unnecessary deep entanglement operations, thereby reducing dependence on qubit coherence time from the source.

In terms of information flow mechanism, this QRNN model draws on the concept of hidden states in classical recurrent neural networks but does not simply perform a one-to-one mapping. Instead, HOLO leverages the natural advantage of quantum states as hidden states, encoding historical information into the amplitude and phase structure of quantum states, and realizing state updates through parameterized quantum operations within the QRB. After quantum encoding, the input data of the current time step interacts with the quantum hidden state retained from the previous time step within the QRB, thereby modeling temporal dependency relationships. This process is mathematically equivalent to a form of quantum state evolution, but in engineering implementation, it is strictly constrained within the operational complexity range that NISQ devices can tolerate.

To further reduce the overall circuit depth, HOLO adopted a network structure design of interleaved stacking of quantum recurrent blocks. Unlike the layer-by-layer stacking approach in traditional deep neural networks, QRNN alternately reuses QRB across the time dimension and feature dimension, allowing the same quantum circuit structure to be reused across multiple time steps. As a result, this not only significantly reduces the number of quantum gates that need to be actually executed but also avoids the problem of circuit depth growing linearly with the number of time steps. This design is particularly critical for NISQ devices, as coherence time is usually the primary factor limiting the executable scale of quantum algorithms.

At the training level, HOLO’s QRNN adopts a hybrid quantum-classical variational optimization framework. The quantum circuit is responsible for the high-dimensional mapping and dynamic evolution of sequential features, while the parameter optimization process is handled by classical computing resources. By measuring the quantum state and constructing a differentiable loss function, the classical optimizer can gradually update the variational parameters in the QRB, continuously improving the model’s performance on prediction or classification tasks. This training approach not only aligns with the current development status of the quantum computing software and hardware ecosystem, but also provides a realistic path for future large-scale deployment.

In a variety of typical sequential learning tasks, including time series classification, trend prediction, and fine-grained change capture scenarios, this model comprehensively outperforms classical recurrent neural networks in prediction accuracy. Particularly noteworthy is that this QRNN demonstrates stronger sensitivity in predicting subtle change details in time series, enabling it to more accurately capture nonlinear dynamic features within sequences.

HOLO’s quantum recurrent neural network technology for sequential learning not only provides a standard paradigm in model structure that is expected to be widely adopted for quantum recurrent networks, but also fully considers the practical constraints of the NISQ era in engineering implementation. Through the modular design of quantum recurrent blocks, the interleaved stacking network construction method, and the hybrid quantum-classical training mechanism, this technology achieves a good balance between performance, scalability, and hardware adaptability. With the continuous evolution of quantum computing hardware, this QRNN model is expected to become one of the first learning models to achieve quantum advantage in the near future, laying a solid foundation for the industrialization of quantum artificial intelligence.

Rolex China Sea Race 2026 Underway

HONG KONG, March 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Asia’s preeminent offshore sailing event, the Rolex China Sea Race 2026, set sail today at 1120hrs from Victoria Harbour. An impressive fleet of 20 yachts began the iconic 565nm passage from Hong Kong to Subic Bay, Philippines.

A revered and historic event, the Rolex China Sea Race welcomes entries from all over the world, including Team Alive–Rampage from Australia, Seawolf from the Chinese Mainland, and two teams from the Philippines — Standard Insurance Centennial V and Standard Insurance Centennial VII.

The largest yacht in the fleet and favourite for line honours is the 75ft Reichel/Pugh Standard Insurance Centennial V. She faces a direct challenge from a fellow Reichel/Pugh flyer, the RP66 Team Alive–Rampage, who will attempt to protect the current race record.

Ahead of the race, Team Alive–Rampage‘s Australian skipper Duncan Hine shared hopes of resetting their own race record: “There’s a chance we can beat our 2016 race record. The strategy is, of course, to stay safe and preserve the boat, but we’re going to push hard — we always do. Hopefully it pays off in the long run. With any luck, that wind hole will clear enough for us to get through, because at the moment it looks more favourable for the boats approaching it later than for the early frontrunners.”

This year also marks a historic first: the race’s inaugural single‑handed entry. Tiger Mok is taking on the challenge aboard his Sun Fast 3600, 2 Easy. Safety, he said, will guide every decision: “I’m not pushing as hard as I would in a fully crewed race — it’s difficult to find the balance. I’ll likely take a less aggressive route than usual. The first 24 hours will be crucial; if I get through that, it’ll give me the confidence to keep pushing.”

Regatta Chairman Hugues de Saint Germain wished the fleet a safe and competitive passage: “We made a very good decision to move the race one month earlier than usual to secure better winds, and it looks like we’ll have them. We’re expecting around 25kts on average — it’s going to be a great race.”

Before departure, the fleet gathered at the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club’s Kellett Island clubhouse for a traditional lion dance ceremony, wishing sailors a safe journey across the often-unpredictable South China Sea.

Twenty boats set off in 7 to 9kts of north‑easterly breeze with light rain at the start. At the pin end, top IRC Racer 0 contenders — the R/P 75 Standard Insurance Centennial V and TP52 Happy Go — were locked in an intense pre‑start duel, while the R/P 66 Team Alive–Rampage and the TP52 Standard Insurance Centennial VII fought for position along the mid‑line. Meanwhile, Seawolf and Zoe’s Guard were quickest off the committee‑boat end, breaking cleanly from the line ahead of the pack.

However, the breeze eased after the start, slowing the fleet as they beat their way up Victoria Harbour. Team Alive–Rampage was the first to break through the Lei Yue Mun Gap — the narrow passage between Hong Kong Island and Kowloon — followed closely by Standard Insurance Centennial V, helmed by two‑time China Sea Race overall winner Ernesto Echauz. The TP52 duo of Happy Go and Standard Insurance Centennial VII passed through soon after.

Once clear of the harbour, the fleet found a steadier breeze, allowing them to settle into their offshore rhythm for the 565nm passage.

As of 1500hrs, Team Alive–Rampage continues to lead the fleet at approximately 15kts, followed by the two Standard Insurance entries – Centennial VII and Centennial V.

An easterly airstream is forecast to strengthen by Thursday, offering the prospect of a quick downwind run for much of the fleet as they head towards the Philippines.

Organised by the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club (RHKYC) — one of Hong Kong’s oldest and most prestigious sporting institutions — the Rolex China Sea Race has been proudly title‑sponsored by Rolex since 2008. This Category 1 offshore race is conducted under the auspices of the Royal Ocean Racing Club (RORC).

Renowned as Asia’s classic blue‑water offshore challenge, the race continues to attract outstanding sailors and internationally recognised yachts from across the globe. Competitors are drawn by the event’s history, the demanding nature of the course, and its enduring Corinthian spirit.

Race action is being tracked by Yellowbrick Tracking https://yb.tl/rolexchinasea2026 and is being shown live at www.rolexchinasearace.com – the Race can also be followed on the YB Race Viewer App.

The GTS Week follows Hong Kong’s historic ascent to the top position in Asia on the International Institute for Management Development’s World Talent Ranking 2025, which marks the city’s highest-ever ranking.

The Secretary for Labour and Welfare, Mr Chris Sun, stated: “At a pivotal moment of rapid transformation in the global talent ecosystem, the GTS Week aims to explore forward looking perspectives on talent development, policies and opportunities, while aligning with the country’s development, thereby building Hong Kong into an international hub for high-calibre talent.”

The Director of HKTE, Mr Felix Chan, expressed his hope that through this flagship international talent event, the GTS Week will promote cross-regional and cross-sector collaboration on talent, and provide a platform for exchange with various partners that helps talent seize opportunities, understand development pathways in Hong Kong and gain foresight into manpower trends.
