WiMi explores quantum image encryption using 4D chaos technology

BEIJING - WiMi Hologram Cloud Inc. (NASDAQ:WIMI), a technology company with a market capitalization of $478 million and strong financial health according to InvestingPro metrics, announced Tuesday that it is exploring a quantum image encryption algorithm based on four-dimensional chaos, combining chaotic systems with quantum computing capabilities. The company, currently trading at attractive valuations with a P/E ratio of 3.39, appears undervalued based on InvestingPro’s Fair Value analysis.

The company is utilizing the Generalized Quantum Image Representation method to encode classical images into quantum information, mapping pixel data onto quantum states. This approach enables the grayscale or color information of images to be encoded into qubit probability distributions.

The four-dimensional chaotic system introduced by WiMi provides a larger key space and more complex dynamic behavior compared to lower-dimensional systems, according to the company’s press release. The encryption process involves randomizing chaotic system trajectories, encrypting pixel values, implementing dynamic key updates, and randomizing pixel positions.

WiMi states that the combination of pixel position encryption and pixel value encryption creates dual protection for image information, making it difficult to recover the original image even if one encryption layer is compromised.

The company claims this approach addresses limitations in conventional encryption methods such as periodicity, limited key space, and vulnerability to statistical analysis. Through quantum states’ parallel processing capabilities, the algorithm can reportedly handle large-scale image data encryption efficiently.

WiMi Hologram Cloud, which focuses on holographic AR technologies and solutions, said it remains committed to research in quantum image processing technologies as quantum computing continues to advance.

The announcement represents the company’s exploration of new security technologies rather than a commercially available product at this time.

In other recent news, WiMi Hologram Cloud Inc. reported a significant 926% increase in net income for the first half of 2025, reaching RMB 126.3 million ($17.6 million), compared to RMB 12.3 million in the same period last year. The company has also been actively expanding its technological portfolio. WiMi announced the launch of a quantum-assisted unsupervised data clustering technology that integrates quantum computing with neural networks to enhance efficiency in large-scale data analysis. Additionally, WiMi introduced a new Quantum Random Access Memory (QRAM) technology aimed at improving storage capacity and efficiency in quantum computing systems. The company is conducting research on distributed quantum computing networks, utilizing optical networks to connect multiple quantum processors, which could enhance data integrity over long distances. In further developments, WiMi is exploring a quantum crypt generator, QryptGen, designed to create encryption keys using quantum machine learning to boost security and randomness. These initiatives highlight WiMi’s commitment to advancing quantum technologies.
