WiMi Develops a Hybrid CPU-FPGA Quantum AI Simulator

WiMi Hologram Cloud Inc (NASDAQ: WiMi), a global hologram augmented reality (AR) technology provider, has announced the development of a hybrid CPU- FPGA quantum AI simulator.

The development aims to simulate the behaviour of quantum computers, enabling testing and optimisation of quantum algorithms on existing classical computers. Traditional simulators are often limited by the computational power of the CPU, making it difficult to handle large- scale quantum systems. To overcome this limitation, WiMi has adopted a hybrid CPU-FPGA approach, combining the versatility of the central processing unit (CPU) with the parallel processing capabilities of the field-programmable gate array (FPGA).

The WiMi CPU-FPGA hybrid quantum AI simulator utilises the parallel processing capabilities and programmability of FPGAs to execute specific quantum computing tasks. An FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) is a hardware device that can be programmed to perform specific tasks. It enables custom parallel computing operations, which is particularly important in handling quantum algorithms. By integrating FPGAs into the simulator, the simulation speed of quantum algorithms can be significantly enhanced while reducing power consumption.
