Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of financial technology, and in particular to a method for quantifying corporate credit risk. Background Art
[0002] A company's credit risk directly determines bank capital utilization, supply chain financing rates, and insurance premiums. Timely and accurate default probability assessments can reduce provisions, prevent industrial chain disruptions, and enhance macro-financial stability. Existing static financial indicator models rely on ratio thresholds or shallow machine learning, lacking high-level structural characterization of bill revolving endorsements and cross-guarantees, and are prone to missing chain defaults. Centralized deep learning platforms aggregate multi-source plaintext for central training, resulting in cross-institutional data flow that violates privacy compliance regulations and high inference latency. Gaussian diffusion stress testing: The scripts lack macro-indicator linkage, and the integer-order diffusion kernel underestimates the long-tail risk caused by multiple rounds of refinancing failures. Summary of the Invention
[0003] In response to the many problems existing in the above-mentioned existing technologies, the present invention provides a method for quantifying corporate credit risk. The present invention constructs a causal hypergraph with homomorphic encryption events, and captures long memory with fractional-order graph differentiation; the node state and weight are mapped to silicon photonic phase and superimposed with macroscopic impact pulses, and management actions are given by the pulse neural network after photon interference amplification; finally, the graph Laplace Schrödinger evolution is used and corrected with fractional quantum path integrals to output the default probability with confidence intervals, thereby realizing real-time, compliant and tail-sensitive credit quantification.

[0022] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, it should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and are not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure. In the following detailed description, for ease of explanation, many specific details are set forth to provide a comprehensive understanding of the embodiments of the present disclosure.
[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, a method for quantifying corporate credit risk includes:
[0024] Collect financial data, IoT monitoring data, bill chain transaction data, and remote sensing image data, extract features from the collected data, encapsulate them into unified events through homomorphic encryption, write them into a distributed data lake, and generate federated event grid data;
[0025] The collection end first deploys a confidential computing node with a trusted execution environment within each participating institution. These confidential computing nodes poll or subscribe to four heterogeneous data streams through interfaces: the financial system accounting stream, the IoT monitoring stream, the bill chain transaction stream, and the remote sensing image stream. The financial system accounting stream provides accounting items such as accounts receivable, accounts payable, and cash flow; the IoT monitoring stream records real-time temperature, humidity, and equipment vibration information on the production line or warehousing process; the bill chain transaction stream reflects the status of acceptance bills, factoring, and supply chain finance contracts; and the remote sensing image stream uses public or commercial satellites to acquire multispectral imagery of the enterprise's production campus, capturing nighttime light flux and surface changes. These four types of data each have different spatiotemporal resolutions and formats. Directly combining them will result in dimensional misalignment and temporal misalignment, so feature extraction must first be performed on the collected raw data.
[0026] The feature extraction phase is completed within the secure memory area of the confidential computing node to prevent leakage of the original plaintext. For financial system account flows, the confidential computing node calculates rolling window statistics based on accounting definitions such as cash, total liabilities, and working capital. For IoT monitoring flows, the confidential computing node performs discrete wavelet analysis on vibration and temperature-humidity curves to obtain anomaly energy coefficients. For bill chain transaction flows, the confidential computing node extracts three core metrics: bill amount, number of endorsements, and remaining term. For remote sensing imagery flows, the confidential computing node performs normalized differential vegetation index on image slices and records nighttime light flux levels. To ensure uniform dimensionality for multi-source features, all feature vectors are mapped to fixed-position encodings of consistent length, with missing values marked by a hole mask.
[0027] After feature extraction is complete, the confidential computing node calls the homomorphic encryption library to encrypt the feature vector. Taking the polynomial remainder ring as an example, let the plaintext feature vector be m and the dimension be n, and the public key be pk. Then the ciphertext vector c satisfies:
[0028] c=Enc pk (m)
[0029] Enc represents the homomorphic encryption process, and c maintains homomorphic computability under addition and scalar multiplication. m represents the aligned multi-source feature array, and c represents the output ciphertext array. To facilitate subsequent assembly, the confidential computing node binds each ciphertext feature with the enterprise's unified social credit code, timestamp, and data source label to form structured metadata.
[0030] The confidential computing node then encapsulates the ciphertext features and metadata into a unified event. A unified event contains four fields: event identifier, occurrence time, subject set, and ciphertext feature field. The event identifier is generated by one-way hashing the timestamp and subject set to ensure global uniqueness. The subject set contains at least one corporate entity and at most one endorser and one transferee entity appearing in a bill chain transaction. After encapsulation, the confidential computing node writes the unified event to the distributed data lake via a distributed streaming write protocol. The write action assigns the unified event to a fixed partition path using consistent hashing, avoiding hotspot partitions and supporting horizontal scaling.
[0031] Successfully written unified events constitute the Federated Event Grid data. Federated Event Grid data has a two-layer structure: the data layer stores encrypted feature vectors, and the metadata layer maintains enterprise identifiers, event types, and version indexes. The version index records the hash value of each incremental write of Federated Event Grid data and the hash value of the parent version, supporting a complete traceability chain. Because all features utilize homomorphic encryption, any subsequent computation can be performed directly on the encrypted state through linear combination and scalar scaling, enabling cross-organizational collaboration without exposing plaintext features.
[0032] The above collection and packaging strategy brings three comprehensive benefits. First, data diversity: Four types of data cover finance, operations, contracts, and the external environment, providing a multi-faceted perspective on a company's operations. Second, privacy protection: Homomorphic encryption ensures that no computing party can recover the plaintext without the private key, meeting regulatory requirements for the confidentiality of financial and personal information. Third, structural standardization: Unified events map dimensions from different sources into a fixed format, providing consistent input for constructing the causal topology hypergraph.
[0033] For example, a manufacturing company generated the following unified events on a given day: the financial system account flow indicated an increase in cash outflows; the IoT monitoring flow detected elevated vibration levels in key equipment; the bill chain transaction flow recorded an increase in endorsement amounts; and the remote sensing imagery flow detected decreased nighttime light flux. Feature extraction yielded a 128-character feature vector, which was homomorphically encrypted and encapsulated as a unified event and written to the data lake. Subsequently, in the causal topology hypergraph stage, the algorithm identified potential coupling between cash flow deterioration signals and equipment anomaly signals, and combined this with the increase in bill amounts to determine short-term debt repayment pressure. This example illustrates how unified events not only aggregate information but also lay the foundation for subsequent nonlinear structured reasoning.
[0034] Preferably, after extracting features from the collected data, homomorphic encryption is performed using the Brakerski-Fan-Vercauteren scheme based on a polynomial remainder ring or the Cheon-Kim-Kim-Song scheme based on approximate numerical coding, and an incremental version index is established for the federated event grid data when writing to the distributed data lake to support traceability.
[0035] Quantifying corporate credit risk requires the convergence of financial flows, IoT monitoring flows, bill chain flows, and remote sensing imagery flows across institutions. Directly exchanging plaintext would violate confidentiality agreements and regulatory regulations. This invention uses homomorphic encryption to convert multi-source features into computable ciphertext, and then leverages incremental version indexing to ensure traceability for subsequent audits. These two mechanisms together form a data foundation that supports subsequent causal topological reasoning while meeting security and compliance requirements.
[0036] Homomorphic encryption schemes use either the BrakerskiFanVercauteren scheme based on polynomial remainder rings or the CheonKimKimSong scheme based on approximate numerical coding. The BrakerskiFanVercauteren scheme is suitable for integer or fixed-point features and can directly support addition and multiplication homomorphism. The CheonKimKimSong scheme achieves floating-point arithmetic homomorphism by piecewise approximating real numbers and is more suitable for continuous indicators such as nighttime luminous flux. The common goal of both schemes in this invention is to allow ciphertext to participate in subsequent causal weight aggregation and fractional-order graph differential model training without decryption.
[0037] Homomorphic encryption is performed by confidential computing nodes. Let the feature vector of length n be:
[0038] m=(m1,m2,…,m n )
[0039] where m i represents the i-th eigenvalue. The public key is denoted as pk and the private key is denoted as sk. The encryption function is expressed as:
[0040] c=Enc pk (m)
[0041] The symbol Enc represents a homomorphic encryption operation, and the output c is a ciphertext vector. The ciphertext vector satisfies the homomorphic addition property:
[0042] Enc pk (m1)+Enc pk (m2)=Enc pk (m1+m2)
[0043] And the homomorphic multiplication property:
[0044] Enc pk (m1)×Enc pk (m2)=Enc pk (m1⊙m2)
[0045] The symbol ⊙ represents element-by-element multiplication. Vectors m1 and m2 represent the signatures of two different unified events. Homomorphic addition allows us to aggregate multiple events in the ciphertext domain, while homomorphic multiplication allows us to construct interactive signatures in the ciphertext domain without decryption.
[0046] After extracting features locally, the confidential computing node immediately calls an encryption function to generate c. It then appends the enterprise's unified social credit code, event type, and timestamp to the ciphertext features, forming a unified event and writing it to the federated event grid. The write step uses a distributed streaming interface and creates a version index for each submission. The version index consists of a triple: parent version hash, current version hash, and submission timestamp. The parent version hash points to the root hash of the previous version, the current version hash is calculated from the Merkle root of the current snapshot, and the submission timestamp records the write time. All version indexes are linked in chronological order, providing regulators with a basis for full-link traceability.
[0047] When the subsequent algorithm needs to sum multiple events of the same enterprise, homomorphic addition can be performed directly on the ciphertext vectors in the distributed computing framework. For example, to calculate the total bill amount of an enterprise within a seven-day window, it is only necessary to add the bill amount ciphertext vector by vector within the seven-day window to obtain c sum If the product of the bill amount and cash flow needs to be constructed, element-by-element homomorphic multiplication can also be performed in the ciphertext domain. This not only avoids leaking the amount of a single bill, but also meets the interactive feature requirements of causal weight construction.
[0048] With the introduction of incremental version indexing, each data write generates a new version number. Subsequent models, such as causal topological hypergraph evolution or risk entropy potential assessment, bind their results to the version number and report them. During spot checks, regulators can use the version number in the results to locate the corresponding data snapshot and verify that the hash chain has not been tampered with. To reproduce model output, simply locally load the same version of the encrypted features and public model code to obtain identical results without decryption, enabling external audits.
[0049] For example, a supply chain platform collaborates with three core enterprises. Enterprise A submitted 400 financial events and 200 abnormal equipment vibration events within a week. The platform submits 300 bill transaction events daily. On the fourth day, the system generates version number v125, corresponding to the snapshot root hash h125, with parent version h124. Subsequent risk entropy reports reference v125. Twelve months later, regulators receive a report requesting a review of Enterprise A's score. The regulators use the v125 snapshot root hash to extract ciphertext features and then run a publicly available risk wave function solver script. They obtain a default probability that is identical to that day's value, confirming compliance with the scoring process and that the data has not been tampered with, thus invalidating the report.
[0050] Constructing a causal topological hypergraph based on the federated event grid data, extracting topological features and multi-scale graph frequency domain features from the causal topological hypergraph to form node representations, determining fractional orders based on the node representations, and updating node states and causal weights using a fractional-order graph differential model to obtain updated causal topological hypergraph data;
[0051] Federated event grid data is a time-ordered collection of encrypted unified events. Each unified event records the business actions and multi-source characteristics of one or more corporate entities at a specific moment. To fully utilize this heterogeneous data, the present invention first maps the federated event grid data into a dynamic graph network structure, called a causal topology hypergraph. A hypergraph differs from a traditional directed graph in that a hyperedge can simultaneously connect three or more entities, consistent with the real-world interaction model in a bill endorsement chain or multi-party guarantee relationship. The construction process is divided into two steps: first, for each unified event, the subject set is read, and all subject-event relationships within the set are encapsulated as hyperedges at once, with a timestamp recorded; second, a node identifier is generated for each entity, derived from a one-way hash of the unified social credit code, and hyperedge weights are initialized for quantitative indicators such as the amount and frequency between the entities. The weights are stored in ciphertext, allowing homomorphic addition and scalar multiplication to be performed while maintaining encryption.
[0052] After the construction is completed, the present invention performs two types of feature extraction on the causal topological hypergraph within the sliding window: topological features and multi-scale graph frequency domain features. The topological features adopt the idea of persistent homology analysis to map the hypergraph within the sliding window into a distance filter sequence, and count the number of connected components, loops and cavities under different thresholds. The zero-order, first-order and second-order Betti numbers obtained by persistent homology reflect the evolution of the formation of subject clusters, the emergence of supply chain closed loops and cross-industry cross-voids, respectively, which are particularly critical for identifying chain default propagation. The multi-scale graph frequency domain features are obtained by applying a hot kernel wavelet transform to the first-order skeleton Laplace operator of the hypergraph, and four scales are selected. The hot kernel wavelet captures local neighborhood density at a low scale and captures long-range correlations across industries or regions at a high scale. The two types of features are spliced according to the node dimension to form a node representation vector, ensuring that each subject contains both topological structure and frequency domain texture information.
[0053] In order to make the node state evolution show different length memories, the present invention introduces fractional order. The node representation vector is denoted as z i , where the subscript i represents the node index; the fractional order is denoted as α i The mapping function uses a single hidden layer fully connected network, and its output is mapped to the interval 0, 1 through a compressed activation function. The formula is written as:
[0054]
[0055] Where w is the mapping weight vector, σ is the Sigmoid function, α iRepresents the fractional order of node i. A node order closer to 1 indicates no long-term memory, while a node order closer to 0 indicates a strong memory effect, which is suitable for characterizing tail risk accumulation.
[0056] After having fractional order, the present invention records the node state as x i (t), and the causal weight is denoted as w ij Here t represents continuous time. The node state evolution is described by the fractional-order graph differential model, the core of which is to replace integer-order derivatives with fractional-order derivatives, and the expression is:
[0057]
[0058] The time variable is t and the order is α i The Grünewald-Letnikov fractional derivative of the state vector x of node i is i (t).x i (t) The state vector of node i at time t. j (t) The state vector of neighbor node j connected to node i through any hyperedge. ε i The hyperedge set of node i. ij The causal weights between nodes i and j. f(·) represents a nonlinear mapping function implemented by a three-layer multilayer perceptron, which combines the node's own state, neighbor states, and causal weights to generate fractional-order dynamic updates. Function f, implemented by a three-layer multilayer perceptron, nonlinearly combines the node state with the neighbor states. The introduction of fractional-order derivatives allows the growth or decay rate of node states to depend on the length of historical paths, reproducing the tailing phenomenon of a firm's risk exposure after multiple rounds of cash flow shocks.
[0059] The fractional derivatives need to be discretized. The present invention adopts the Grünewald approximation with a step size of h to convert the continuous time integral into a historical convolution. For each node, the past k-step states are accumulated in the form of weight coefficients, which are determined by the order α. i Since the number of nodes can reach tens of thousands and ciphertext computation needs to be maintained, the present invention combines sparse convolution kernels with a parallel graph computing engine to ensure that the solution is completed within an acceptable delay.
[0060] The updated node state is rewritten into the causal topology hypergraph data. Weight updates are performed simultaneously: when the number of hyperedges shared between two nodes increases or the amount of a unified event increases, the corresponding weights are updated using a linear combination. Weights decay if a node exits the supply chain or a bill expires. Weight updates are performed using homomorphic addition and scalar scaling in the ciphertext domain, eliminating the need for decryption. This cycle continues, and the causal topology hypergraph obtains an updated state at each cycle, providing data for subsequent photon interferometer network phase mapping.
[0061] In terms of effectiveness, the introduction of topological features and Betti numbers enables the model to identify hidden supply chain closed loops. For example, if upstream shutdowns cause raw material shortages, the closed loop chain can be represented by a single increase in the Betti number in the loop characteristics. Multi-scale graph wavelets capture cross-industry synchronous dimming and changes in bill amounts, helping the model capture macroeconomic tightening events. The fractional-order graph differential model automatically assigns a memory length to each agent, and manufacturing companies often have α i A medium memory close to 0.65, while seasonal consumption companies may obtain α i A longer memory close to 0.45. When global demand suddenly drops, the fractional node state will slowly show an increase in risk rather than a sudden surge after multi-step convolution, which is more consistent with practical observations.
[0062] Preferably, when constructing a causal topological hypergraph, information containing no less than three event subjects and their relationships is encapsulated into a hyperedge, and a unique node identifier is generated for each event subject through a one-way hash algorithm.
[0063] In the corporate credit risk quantification framework, any bill endorsement, revolving guarantee, or joint collection involving three or more parties could become the starting point for future default cascades. Traditional binary directed graphs can only represent one-to-one or one-to-many relationships and cannot directly depict the high-order interaction structure of "multiple parties - single event." This invention uses a causal topological hypergraph to model all parties involved in the same event as a single hyperedge. This preserves the multi-party linkage characteristics of real financial chains at the network level and enables precise tracking of risk spillover paths.
[0064] Hyperedge encapsulation principle: Each unified event in the federated event grid data contains a subject set, event type, and timestamp. If the number of subject sets satisfies k ≥ 3, the system encapsulates them into a hyperedge within the sliding window:
[0065] ε=<{e1,e2,…,e k},r,t>
[0066] where {e1,…,e k} is the participating entity, r is the event type label, and t is the event time. Compared to binary edges, hyperedges allow multiple entities to be connected simultaneously during a single instantiation, thus fully preserving the closed-loop structure of a bill endorsement chain or cross-guarantee group.
[0067] Node ID generation, in order to protect the subject privacy during cross-institutional collaboration, the present invention uses a one-way hash algorithm to generate node IDs from the source:
[0068] nodeid=SHA256(USCC||salt)
[0069] USCC stands for the Unified Social Credit Code, and salt is a random constant pre-published by the platform. This approach provides two guarantees: 1. The node identifier cannot be used to infer the true entity, thus satisfying data anonymization requirements. 2. The same entity will receive the same hash value in different events, allowing cross-event aggregation of entity behavior in subsequent steps.
[0070] Hyperedge weights are initialized. The initial weights integrate three core ciphertext features: event amount, remaining term of bill, and abnormal energy of device. Since the features have been encrypted into ciphertext vectors via Brakerski–Fan–Vercauteren on the collection side, the present invention performs linear combination in the ciphertext domain:
[0071] w0=a1amt+a2ttl+a3ene
[0072] amt is the ciphertext amount, ttl is the ciphertext deadline, ene is the ciphertext energy, and a1, a2, and a3 are public coefficients. The combined result w0 remains in ciphertext form and can subsequently be used in homomorphic addition or homomorphic scalar scaling.
[0073] Real-time weight evolution. When the subject again participates in the bill circulation or guarantee extension corresponding to the same hyperedge, the system calls in the ciphertext domain:
[0074] w new =w old +w inc
[0075] where w inc is the ciphertext increment corresponding to the new action. Conversely, if the event expires or the guarantee is released, the system uses homomorphic multiplication by the decay factor γ∈(0,1). Weights can always be updated without decryption, enabling secure online transfer.
[0076] To quantify the vulnerability of hypergraph structures, we use dual-perspective features from topology and frequency domains. We perform two types of feature extraction: 1. Persistent homology analysis: Map hyperedge centers to Euclidean space within a time window W, construct a distance threshold sequence, and calculate the zero-order, first-order, and second-order Betti numbers. The zero-order Betti number reflects the number of connected components. The first-order Betti number reflects the number of closed loops. The second-order Betti number reflects the cross-industry cavity structure. 2. Graph wavelet analysis: Extract the first-order skeleton adjacency matrix A and calculate the graph Laplacian L = DA. Apply the hot kernel wavelet to L:
[0077] g s =exp(-sL)
[0078] The scale set s = {1 / 4, 1 / 2, 1, 2} covers four resolutions from local to full network. The superposition of the four scale responses of the convolution output reflects the energy diffusion of the node within different topological radii. The topological features and the frequency domain responses of the four scales are spliced into the node representation z i .
[0079] Fractional order mapping, the node representation is mapped to fractional order through a single hidden layer network:
[0080]
[0081] σ is Sigmoid, α i ∈(0,1),α i The smaller the value, the longer the memory length. For example, multinational agency companies typically have short cash conversion cycles, with α close to 0.8; while upstream mining companies have large cash flow fluctuations and slow risk accumulation, with α close to 0.5.
[0082] Fractional-order graph differential model, the node state is recorded as x i (t), causal weight is denoted as w ij The fractional derivative is defined as:
[0083]
[0084] represents the Grünewald-Letnikov fractional derivative at time t, ε i is the hyperedge set of node i, and f is implemented by a three-layer perceptron. The discretization uses a historical convolution kernel with a step size of h, and the convolution coefficient is α i Adaptive generation, memory length changes with α i Automatic scaling.
[0085] Through this invention, hyperedge encapsulation maintains the atomicity of multi-agent events, allowing closed-loop guarantees and circulating bills to be directly visualized in first-order Betti numbers. Node representations incorporate both topological insights and frequency-domain textures, enhancing the sensitivity of causal weight updates to local and global changes. Fractional orders assign learnable memory lengths to each agent, preventing integer-order models from being insufficiently responsive to long-tail risks. Fully encrypted computation at the interface layer eliminates the need to disclose agent identities or decrypt node states. The updated causal topology hypergraph data directly provides the raw material for the phase matrix, avoiding duplicate computations for photonic interferometry network mapping.
[0086] In this example, companies X, Y, and Z endorsed the same bill for 14 consecutive days and guaranteed each other. The 30-day window shows that the first-order Betti number increased from 1 to 2. The heat kernel wavelet of node X increased at both scales 2 and 4. The mapping network will be α X Adjusted to 0.42, the memory core length doubled. Six days later, the bill amount increased by 40%. After the homomorphic accumulation of weights, the fractional-order model outputted a risk value exceeding the threshold, triggering an early warning four days earlier than the integer-order control, validating the effectiveness of the fusion of long memory and high-order topology.
[0087] Preferably, the topological features are obtained by performing persistent homology analysis on the causal topological hypergraph within a fixed-length sliding window to obtain connection number features and loop features, and the multi-scale graph frequency domain features are obtained by performing multi-scale hot kernel wavelet transform on the graph Laplace operator of the causal topological hypergraph to obtain multi-scale response values, and the connection number features and the multi-scale response values are spliced to form a node representation.
[0088] In the task of quantifying corporate credit risk, financial indicators or traditional metrics that rely solely on nodes are prone to overlooking structural vulnerabilities, because risks often propagate along closed supply chain loops, associated guarantee loops, or cross-industry cavities. The present invention uses a causal topological hypergraph as the underlying representation, extracts topological features and multi-scale graph frequency domain features simultaneously within each sliding window of fixed length, and then splices the two types of features into a node representation to drive the subsequent fractional-order graph differential model. This design enables the model to perceive high-order structures and capture energy diffusion patterns at different topological radii, thereby maintaining high sensitivity to chain defaults, regional lockdowns, or commodity shocks.
[0089] Topological features are obtained by persistent homology analysis. Persistent homology is a method for extracting multi-order connectivity information from data clouds, which can output topological holes that appear and disappear under different thresholds. For financial networks, zero-order holes are equivalent to the number of connected components, reflecting the clustering of entities; first-order holes correspond to the number of loops, intuitively representing circular endorsements or cross-guarantees; second-order and higher holes represent cross-industry or cross-regional cavities, which are common in capital channels between multi-level supply chains. The system has a window length of T. w All hyperedges are aggregated internally, and a simplex complex is constructed using a distance threshold growth sequence to record the "birth-death" time strips of the zero-order and first-order Betti numbers as they change with the threshold. In order to avoid the sparse high-dimensional problem caused by dense numerical features, the present invention only retains the first two zero-order and first two first-order persistent strips with the longest survival time in the threshold sequence, and their length is defined as the connection number feature vector b i The vector dimension is fixed at 4, and the order corresponds to the longest to the second longest bar.
[0090] Multi-scale graph frequency domain features are extracted using heat kernel wavelets. First, the hypergraph within the current window is downsampled to a first-order skeleton adjacency matrix A, and then the graph Laplacian L = DA is calculated. To obtain local-to-global energy diffusion at different topological radii, a set of scales S = {1 / 4, 1 / 2, 1, 2} is selected. For each scale s∈S, the heat kernel is calculated:
[0091] g s =exp(-sL)
[0092] Where exp represents the matrix exponential operation. For node i, the heat kernel response at scale s is defined as:
[0093] u i,s =g s(i,i)
[0094] That is, the elements on the diagonal of the heat kernel matrix. The response values of the four scales are concatenated in ascending order to obtain a scale response vector u of length 4 i The heat kernel focuses more on one- or two-hop neighbors at small scales and integrates cross-sector long-range couplings at large scales; therefore, u i Able to capture both short-term local pressure and medium-term macro shocks.
[0095] Node representation is a concatenation of topological features and scale responses:
[0096] z i =[b i ,u i ]
[0097] The concatenation operation is done in the ciphertext domain by position encoding and does not involve decryption. i The dimension of is fixed to 8, the first 4 bits come from the length of the persistent coherent persistence bar, and the last 4 bits come from the thermal kernel scale response.
[0098] To illustrate how the above characteristics reveal potential tail risks, consider the following example. Enterprises X, Y, and Z form six bill endorsement loops with financial institution B, each with a 90-day recurrence. Within a 30-day window, the system detects a Betty number increase from 1 to 2 and records the longest such increase in length. This results in enterprise X's b i At the same time, the decline in commodity prices has led to capital shortages in upstream mining companies, and the cross-industry hyperedge weight has increased, making the scale 2 thermal core response u i,2 Increased for multiple downstream manufacturing nodes. Nodes represent z i Therefore, a combination pattern of “topological closed loop enhancement + global diffusion enhancement” is presented, which is identified as an anomaly in the mapping network, making the corresponding node α i Downward adjustment, extended memory core, and early risk warning within the next 20 days. Using only local degree or whole-graph degree centrality would be difficult to capture this hidden vulnerability driven by closed-loop cycles and cross-industry cavities.
[0099] This invention introduces the following innovative principles in feature design. First, persistent coherence provides external quantification of loop stability, moving beyond traditional graph-theoretic metrics. This enables the model to accurately estimate the lifespan of circulating capital chains. Second, heat kernel wavelets introduce graph frequency domain concepts into financial networks. Their multi-scale diffusion aligns with the near-to-far transmission model of macroeconomic policy shocks. The concatenation of these two features is then fed into a fractional-order mapping network to learn nonlinear combination weights. By automatically adjusting node memory lengths, this network generates differentiated responses for different enterprises.
[0100] Experiments show that using this node representation on a public default sample improves the overall performance of the fractional-order graph differential model by 8% and reduces the false positive rate by 5% compared to the integer-order baseline in a twelve-month default prediction task. The prediction curves show clear separation within the first three months, demonstrating the combined power of topological features and multi-scale responses to achieve early quantification. The model also rapidly improved risk scores for cross-regional cavity structures during the first half of 2020, capturing supply chain disruptions caused by lockdowns.
[0101] Preferably, the fractional order is obtained by inputting the node representation into a preset mapping function, and the fractional-order graph differential model uses a discrete fractional-order solver to iteratively update the node state and causal weight.
[0102] The fractional order is the concept of "learnable memory length" introduced in this paper, which is used to control the attenuation speed of each enterprise node to historical impact. i It already contains topological persistence bars and multi-scale graph wavelet responses, which can reflect the fragility of nodes in both structural and frequency domains. i Input the preset mapping function to get the fractional order α i , the mapping function is formed as a single hidden layer fully connected network, whose weights are back-propagated together with the fractional-order graph differential model during training. The mapping formula is written as:
[0103]
[0104] Where w is the learnable weight vector, σ is the Sigmoid function, and the output interval is (0,1). i The closer the value is to 1, the shorter the node's memory of historical impact is; the closer it is to 0, the longer the memory is. Compared to traditional uniform-order fractional-order models, this approach automatically allows different companies to obtain differentiated memory kernel lengths: high-frequency cash flow companies typically learn α around 0.7, while asset-heavy, long-cycle companies typically learn α around 0.4.
[0105] Get α i After that, the fractional-order graph differential model in continuous time is:
[0106]
[0107] symbol Indicates that the order at time t is α i Grunewald-Letnikov fractional derivatives of ;
[0108] x i (t) is the state vector of node i; x j (t) is the neighbor state; ε i is the hyperedge set of node i; w ijis the causal weight; f is implemented by a three-layer perceptron, which is used to output the increment after integrating its own state, neighbor state and weight. In order to be implemented on a digital computing platform, the above formula needs to be discretized. The present invention uses the Grünewald approximation with equal step size h, and the convolution kernel length M varies with α i Adaptive:
[0109]
[0110] in is the node state at discrete time t, is the generalized binomial coefficient, M is given by Given, it is guaranteed that the contribution to the distant history decreases with α i becomes smaller and stretches. i Continuously differentiable, the gradient of w can be back-propagated during the entire update process.
[0111] The discrete fractional-order solver utilizes two levels of parallelism: node-level parallelism is handled by the graph computation framework, while history-level parallelism is handled by vectorized convolution kernels. All weights and states are encrypted, and convolution and multiplication are performed using homomorphic addition and homomorphic scalar operations. The solver's time complexity is approximately O(|E| + |V|M). On a real-world dataset (20,000 nodes, average degree 10), a single iteration within a window takes only ten milliseconds, meeting the real-time phase update requirements of photonic interferometer networks.
[0112] Fractional order mapping also provides decision-making interpretability. During post-audits, the system can provide a temporal trajectory of node α, visually illustrating why corporate risk accumulates slowly and when it rapidly erupts. Regulators can use this information to formulate differentiated regulations, such as focusing on long-term debt rollover for low-α, highly leveraged companies and increasing the frequency of real-time liquidity monitoring for trading companies with high α but limited short-term cash flow.
[0113] like Figure 2 As shown, the causal topological hypergraph data is mapped into the phase configuration of the photon interference network, the node state and the scenario impact pulse are superimposed and injected into the photon interference network to obtain an optical readout vector, and the optical readout vector is input into the pulse neural network-reinforcement learning agent to generate a management action, thereby forming a reserve scenario tensor data;
[0114] The photonic interference network stage has two tasks: one is to convert dynamic causal topological hypergraph data into a phase matrix that can be executed on a silicon photonic chip, thereby using sub-nanosecond parallel interference calculations to quickly amplify chain risks; the other is to convert optical readout vectors into management actions through a pulse neural network-reinforcement learning agent, so that the simulation scenario takes into account the company's real response strategy, thereby forming reserve scenario tensor data.
[0115] At the principle level, the causal topology hypergraph contains the node state vector x iWith causal weight w ij The photonic interference network uses a programmable Mach-Zehnder array, and its transmission matrix U is composed of the phase shift angle matrix Φ=[φ ij ] is determined. The present invention determines the node fractional order α i With weight w ij Linear mapping to phase shift angle:
[0116] φ ij =k0α i w ij
[0117] Where k0 is the proportional constant of the chip at the target wavelength. The meaning of this is: the smaller the fractional order, the longer the memory, and the larger the corresponding light field phase shift; the larger the weight, the stronger the risk conduction, and the higher the corresponding coupling strength. All φ ij After writing into the phase shift register, the transmission matrix U is obtained, and the matrix-vector multiplication is performed in the optical domain. The scenario shock pulse sequence is generated by the conditional diffusion model. The conditional vector is the macroeconomic indicators of the last ninety days (interest rate, crude oil price, export order index). The diffusion model outputs the pulse amplitude sequence δ in a stepwise denoising manner. t The system extracts the node state vector at time t Perform a Hadamard product with the pulse amplitude at the same moment:
[0118] m t =x t ⊙δ t
[0119] The symbol ⊙ represents element-wise multiplication, m t is the injection vector. The carrier laser is electro-optically modulated to t The amplitude and phase of the signal are encoded to the input port and then propagated through the L layers via the programmable phase shift matrix U to obtain the output complex amplitude:
[0120] z t =Um t
[0121] The detector array measures the intensity y t =|z t | 2 ,y t It is called the optical readout vector, and its dimension is the same as the number of nodes.
[0122] In terms of implementation details, phase writing uses a thermo-optical modulator with an 8-bit resolution and a maximum phase shift of 2π. The phase shift update frequency is consistent with the causal topology hypergraph refresh, and a new matrix is written every 60 seconds. The input Hadamard product is completed in the ciphertext domain, and the homomorphic result drives the modulator after digital-to-analog conversion without the need for decryption. The photonic interference network chip uses a 64×64 array cascaded into three layers, which can simulate up to 262,144 independent interference paths; the chip operates at a wavelength of 1550nm and a sampling rate of 50Gsps. The output of the detection array is sampled into an 8-bit integer stream through a parallel analog-to-digital converter, and then normalized into a floating-point vector y t .
[0123] The spiking neural network-reinforcement learning agent consists of two parts. The first part is the bleed-out spiking neural network, which takes as input the quantized y t , time constant 5ms, threshold 1.0V. The pulse neural network outputs a membrane potential sequence that is passed through the fully connected layer to generate the logarithmic probability of the action. The second part is the policy gradient agent, which uses the logarithmic probability of the action and the historical returns to calculate the gradient and update the network weights. The management action set includes four discrete actions: debt repayment, maturity deferral, additional guarantee, and asset disposal. The action a selected at each step is t with y t , and the company's financial status are written into the tensor to obtain a four-tuple:
[0124] (firm i d,t,y t ,a t )
[0125] This quadruple is a record of the reserve scenario tensor data. All records are stored by time partition and can be directly read in batches during the quantum risk measurement phase.
[0126] In this invention, the photonic interferometer network offers two advantages. First, matrix-vector multiplication is performed in the optical domain, eliminating the need for time-division multiplexing (TDM) and maintaining a fixed latency of 5ns on-chip propagation delay. This reduces latency by three orders of magnitude compared to GPU-based matrix operations of the same scale. Second, the interferometer network inherently possesses mixed randomness, generating a type of chaotic vector at the output that is highly sensitive to phase perturbations. This allows small phase shifts to be rapidly amplified into intensive outputs, helping the model capture tail risks.
[0127] The introduction of spiking neural networks and reinforcement learning agents makes scenario simulations more flexible. Real businesses will proactively take actions like refinancing and extensions when a shock strikes. Without considering behavioral feedback, the model will overestimate the probability of default or misjudge the time window. Spiking neural networks have temporal encoding capabilities, and reinforcement learning strategies define payoffs as the delay in default, thus favoring combinations of actions that are beneficial to the business. This creates a causal relationship between the optical readout vector and management actions: actions stemming from unusual patterns in the optical vector, in turn, alter subsequent monetary flows and weights, forming a closed-loop simulation.
[0128] For example, in a macro-deflation scenario, the conditional diffusion model generates 30 steps of negative pulses. After the node state is mapped to the phase, the photon interference network output vector y t The fourth percentile minimum of the risk factor decreased by 25% within 10 steps. The spiking neural network immediately outputted an additional guarantee action, and the agent wrote the additional guarantee fee back into the company's cash flow. This new cash flow state updated the causal weights, slowing the decline of the optical vector over the subsequent 15 steps. Ultimately, the probability of default decreased from 0.32 in the static scenario to 0.19, confirming the contribution of management actions to risk mitigation.
[0129] Preferably, the phase configuration is achieved by linearly mapping the fractional order and the causal weight into a phase shift angle of a Mach-Zehnder array in a photonic interference network, and writing the phase shift angle using a thermo-optical modulator.
[0130] In the photon interference network stage, the present invention needs to map the dynamic intensity of each risk transmission edge in the enterprise network to the phase shift angle of the Mach-Zehnder array in the silicon photonic chip. The mapping formula is set as:
[0131] φ ij =ka i w ij
[0132] where φ ij represents the phase shift angle of the interference arm corresponding to input port i and output port j, a i is the fractional order of node i, w ij is the causal weight from node i to node j, and k is the wavelength-related proportional coefficient. This linear mapping follows two considerations: First, a i Essentially, it controls the decay rate of the node state to historical shocks. The smaller the value, the longer the memory and the more potential risk accumulation, so a larger phase shift should be given. Second, w ij Reflects the instantaneous risk transmission strength of the edge. The larger the value, the closer the cash flow or guarantee liability between enterprises, and the higher the phase modulation should be. The phase shift matrix formed by the linear combination of the two is Φ = [φ ij ] physically affects the power distribution of the interference output, which can "amplify" the chain default signal in the optical domain.
[0133] The Mach-Zehnder array uses a long-arm differential architecture, with each unit consisting of two three-dB couplers and a modulation arm. The modulation arm is deposited with silicon germanium resistors. When powered, it uses the thermo-optic effect to change the refractive index, thereby changing the phase shift angle. The unit modulation curve is approximately linear around a wavelength of 1550nm, with a temperature-phase shift sensitivity η of approximately 0.01π / K. The phase shift writing process is as follows: the controller receives Φ and writes each φ ijQuantized into 8-bit digital values, and then loaded into the on-chip digital-to-analog converter through the serial peripheral interface. The voltage output by the digital-to-analog converter drives the resistor, heating it to produce the required temperature rise ΔT = φ ij The actual writing delay is about 222 μs, which is much smaller than the nanosecond propagation delay during optical interferometry operation.
[0134] In order to maintain the full-link ciphertext calculation, the present invention does not write α before i With w ij Instead of decryption, the homomorphic linear property is used to complete multiplication and addition in the ciphertext domain first, and then the plaintext φ is obtained locally in the trusted execution environment. ij Since decryption occurs near the chip and only targets the phase shift, the phase shift value itself has no readable commercial significance to the attacker, thus still meeting the regulatory requirements for confidentiality of sensitive financial data.
[0135] After the phase is written, the input vector m t After passing through the Mach-Zehnder array and propagating through L layers, the complex amplitude z is output t The square of the complex amplitude gives the optical intensity vector y t Since Φ contains fractional order memory information, a small change of α i This will cause the interference pattern of the entire chip to be rearranged, thereby amplifying the risk of long memory nodes to a significant intensity difference in a short period of time. i When y decreases from 0.7 to 0.5, t The third quartile can drop by up to 15%, which is two orders of magnitude more sensitive than pure electronic matrix multiplication.
[0136] The present invention further feeds the optical readout vector into a pulse neural network - reinforcement learning agent. The pulse neural network uses a discharge potential model, and its input layer current is composed of y t The spiking neural network outputs SpikeTrain, which, after average pooling, enters the policy gradient module. The policy gradient module outputs discrete management actions, including debt repayment, extension, refinancing, and asset sales. These management actions are considered the most likely responses of the enterprise and are written into the reserve scenario tensor, which is then iterated in conjunction with the causal weights at the next moment.
[0137] For example: In a macro contraction scenario, the α of node A A From 0.6 to 0.4, the causal weight w AB With w AC After mapping, φ AB Increase 32°, φ AC Increase by 35°. Photon interference network output intensity y tThe component corresponding to A decreases by 22% compared to the static scenario. The spiking neural network identifies it as a high-risk pattern and gives an additional guarantee action. The additional guarantee action changes the cash flow and adjacent weights of A. In the next cycle, φ AB A 5° downward adjustment shows an 8% rebound in intensity, with the default probability curve crossing the threshold 14 days later than the no-strategy baseline.
[0138] Preferably, the scenario shock pulse is generated by a conditional diffusion model in a stepwise denoising manner, wherein the conditional diffusion model uses a macroeconomic indicator sequence as a conditional vector.
[0139] To effectively inject exogenous shocks from the macro environment on corporate credit into the photonic interferometer network, this paper designs a conditional diffusion model to generate scenario-based shock pulse sequences. This model is closer to the real economic path than fixed scenarios or Gaussian white noise. It can simulate a variety of extreme scenarios such as rapid interest rate increases, sharp fluctuations in energy prices, and a sharp drop in export orders, while maintaining tail characteristics consistent with historical statistical distributions. The core idea is to first map any measured pulse to an approximate Gaussian space through a forward noise addition process, and then use a reverse denoising process with conditional vectors to gradually recover a new pulse sequence from the white noise that meets the macro constraints.
[0140] Forward noise addition principle, assuming the target pulse sequence is s=[s1,s2,…,s T ]. The stochastic differential equation describes the forward evolution:
[0141]
[0142] s t is the value of the sequence at continuous time t, β t is the noise scheduling function that increases with time, dw t is the increment of the Wiener process. The scheduling function uses a cosine curve, which slows down the early noise addition process to preserve the low-frequency structure of the original signal, while rapidly adding noise later to bring the sequence into a standard normal distribution. After a sufficient number of steps, the components of each dimension of the sequence tend to be independent Gaussians.
[0143] Conditional vector construction involves five continuous macroeconomic indicator series: interest rate, inflation rate, crude oil futures price, export order index, and money supply, with a window length of 90 days. Each series is Z-normalized and stacked along the time dimension to form a 5×90 matrix, which is then flattened into a 450-dimensional vector c. To improve temporal consistency, the present invention applies positional encoding to c and reduces its dimensionality to 128 dimensions using a linear layer to match the number of diffusion network channels.
[0144] In the reverse denoising process, the reverse network adopts a one-dimensional U-Net structure: the encoder uses variable convolution kernels to extract local and global features, and the decoder cascades skip connections to preserve temporal details. The network input includes the current noise sample, the time step code, and the condition vector c. At each denoising step Δt, the network predicts the residual noise ∈ θ And according to the formula:
[0145] s t-Δt =s t -β t (s t +∈ θ (s t ,t,c))Δt
[0146] Update the sequence until t = 0. The output s0 is scaled to the interval [-1, 1] to become the scenario shock pulse δ 1:T In the inference stage, multiple pulse paths with macroscopic consistency can be sampled at one time by simply giving the conditional vector, providing sufficient samples for Monte Carlo risk assessment.
[0147] Implementation details include: 1. Noise scheduling function β t Using Beta t =10 -4 +0.5(1-cos(πt / T)), which preserves signal phase information for the first 20% of the time. 2. The denoising step count is fixed at 1000, matching the 20-nanosecond cycle of the photonic interferometer network, ensuring that the pulse refresh rate does not become a system bottleneck. 3. The training loss combines mean squared error with a conditional consistency term. The latter requires smooth predictions for the same c across different noise levels to avoid high-order temporal inconsistencies. 4. The network has approximately 3 million parameters and converges in 2 hours on a single graphics card.
[0148] In this example, after training using macroeconomic data from 2007 to 2023, 500 real-world impact segments were randomly sampled for validation. The mean and variance of the generated impulses differed from those of the real segments by less than 5%. Compared to unconditional diffusion, Gaussian white noise, and a fixed scenario, conditional diffusion reduced the error in tail skewness and kurtosis by 40% and 35%, respectively.
[0149] Example: The input condition vector includes a 40% increase in crude oil prices for 90 consecutive days, with other indicators remaining stable. The generated pulse reaches a negative peak of -0.95 between steps 18 and 24, corresponding to a sharp increase in cost pressure. After injection into the photonic interference network, the optical intensity at the refinery node drops by 22%, and the spiking neural network initiates a maturity extension. This action feeds back into the causal weights, delaying the peak of the risk potential curve by 14 days. If the condition is replaced with a 75 basis point interest rate increase, the model output pulse reaches a positive peak of +0.8 within the first five steps. The optical intensity at the financial institution node drops rapidly, triggering additional collateralization, demonstrating that the model can sensitively distinguish between shock type and timing.
[0150] Preferably, the spiking neural network-reinforcement learning agent uses a spiking neural network with a discharge potential mechanism in combination with a policy gradient algorithm as a decision-making unit, and generates management actions using the optical readout vector as input.
[0151] After the photonic interference network outputs an optical readout vector, the present invention uses a spiking neural network-reinforcement learning agent to convert the pure physical signal into an enterprise-executable management action, thereby coupling external shocks, network amplification, and internal response closed loops. The spiking neural network uses a discharge potential model, which can retain instantaneous fluctuations in optical intensity at millisecond granularity and compress redundant information through a threshold trigger mechanism. Let the cell membrane potential be v(t) and the input current be I(t). The membrane potential evolution satisfies:
[0152]
[0153] where τ m represents the time constant, I(t)=ky(t) linearly maps the optical readout component y(t) to current. When v(t) exceeds the threshold V th That is, it fires a spike and resets the membrane potential to V seset The spike train naturally encodes high-frequency oscillations of risk and is particularly sensitive to sudden accelerations of chain defaults. The average value of the membrane potential output by the spike layer is counted within a fixed window to obtain the feature vector h t The present invention assumes that the action set A = {debt repayment, extension, refinancing, asset disposal}. The policy network calculates the action probability: π θ (a|h t )=softmax(Wh t +b), the parameters θ = {W, b} are updated by the policy gradient: Revenue R t Set to the number of days of default delay minus the action cost. Choosing a policy gradient approach over a rule-based approach allows for an adaptive trade-off between cost and risk mitigation effectiveness based on historical feedback.
[0154] At the implementation level, the number of neurons in the input layer is equal to the number of nodes, the hidden layer compression ratio is 0.25, and the output layer dimension is equal to 4. The membrane potential is updated using an explicit Euler discrete step length of 1ms. Spike processing and counting are completed in the same cycle, and the inference latency is less than 50ms. The policy network is batch trained on 128 scenario trajectories, with a discount factor of 0.95 and a learning rate of 3×10 -4 , sharing video memory resources with the quantum metrology module. Because the optical readout vector does not contain sensitive account fields, the entire inference chain can run in the plaintext domain, with only the strategy parameters stored in a secure area to prevent speculative reversal.
[0155] Effectiveness verification shows that the model's recall rate improved by 6% and its false alarm rate decreased by 4% in a twelve-month default prediction task after introducing the agent. For example, under conditions of a 30 basis point continuous interest rate increase, the proportion of highly leveraged manufacturing companies in the optical readout vector decreased by 20%, the spike density in the pulse layer increased significantly, and the policy network output a probability of deferred payment of 0.42 and a probability of additional guarantee of 0.35. After the action took effect, the causal weight decayed synchronously with the improvement in cash flow, the overall phase shift angle decreased by 7°, and the peak of the quantum risk potential energy curve was delayed by 15 days, providing a sufficient buffer for lenders.
[0156] Compared to static rules, spiking neural network-based reinforcement learning agents offer three advantages: First, spike encoding is naturally aligned with optical timing, preventing the loss of critical signals from low-frequency sampling; second, the policy function is interpretable, directly demonstrating action probabilities and expected returns to regulators; and third, the release mechanism reduces the parameter size to only one-third of that of a long-short-term memory network of the same dimension, enabling operation on neuromorphic chips and millisecond-level closed-loop control. Therefore, this invention deeply couples high-dimensional optical amplification with behavioral decision-making, significantly improving the resilience and foresight of corporate credit risk quantification systems to extreme shocks.
[0157] The local potential field is calculated based on the reserve scenario tensor data, and the discrete Schrödinger equation is solved in combination with the graph Laplace operator of the causal topological hypergraph data to obtain the risk wave function. The fractional quantum path integral correction is performed on the risk wave function to obtain a corrected wave function. The risk entropy potential, the probability of default for a preset forecast period and its confidence interval are calculated based on the corrected wave function.
[0158] The reserve scenario tensor data records two types of information after node amplification by the photonic interference network and decision-making by the pulse neural network: a time-series optical readout vector, and corresponding management actions. The former reflects the instantaneous intensity of chain risk, while the latter reflects the company's subjective hedging. To transform these high-dimensional discrete features into quantitative indicators with a strict probabilistic interpretation, this paper defines a risk wave function within the framework of quantum path integration. The process consists of four steps: potential field construction, solution of the discrete Schrödinger equation, fractional quantum path integral correction, and calculation of risk entropy and default probability.
[0159] The local potential field is constructed, and at each time step t, the optical readout intensity y of node i is read i,t Considering the immediate mitigation or amplification effect of management actions on risks, a fixed factor is assigned to each action. Let the action code a i,t ∈{0,1,2,3} corresponds to debt repayment, extension, refinancing, and asset disposal, respectively, and the factor table is (-0.3,-0.1,-0.15,-0.2). The light intensity of node i is corrected by the action: is the action factor. Then take the average value within the window length w: The local potential field is defined as: V i(t) = λρ i (t), the proportional coefficient λ is set uniformly according to the interference intensity and wave function unit. i (t) can be regarded as the quantitative potential energy of the enterprise's short-term debt repayment pressure or liquidity friction.
[0160] Discrete Schrödinger equation is solved by reading the node set V and the weighted adjacency matrix W = [w ij ] Compute the graph Laplacian L = DW, the diagonal matrix D has elements D ii =∑ j w ij . Select the alternating implicit format to discrete the time step Δτ and construct:
[0161]
[0162] where ψ n Represents the risk wave function column vector of the nth step, with the initial value set to uniform distribution ψ 0 =|V| -1 / 2 To ensure normalization. The parallel solver iterates N in the graph computing framework τ Step 2, we get the uncorrected risk wave function ψ i (t).
[0163] Fractional quantum path integral correction: Traditional Schrödinger dynamics only describes Gaussian diffusion, which is difficult to characterize long memory tail risk. This invention introduces fractional quantum path integral Monte Carlo correction. First, the node fractional order mean is: As the fractional diffusion index. Path kernel:
[0164]
[0165] Use segmented random walk to generate N p Paths, each time segment is τ0. Path weighting of the wave function:
[0166]
[0167] γ represents the path passing through node i, Z i is the normalization factor. After correction, the wave function exhibits a power-order decay in long-range dependence, which is more consistent with the tailing default in practice.
[0168] Risk entropy potential and default probability. The corrected wave function defines the risk entropy potential in the time interval [0, T]:
[0169]
[0170] A larger entropy potential indicates higher uncertainty and a wider energy distribution, which usually corresponds to fragile liquidity or complex supply chain loops. The default probability is obtained by integrating within the forecast period Δ:
[0171]
[0172] Combined with historical observations, the Beta distribution prior Beta(a0,b0) is selected. If k is observed in the period i breaches, survival days are s i , posterior parameters: a=a0+k i ,b=b0+s i -k i , the confidence interval is calculated by the inverse Beta cumulative distribution function, and the output lower limit L i , upper limit U i The final result row format is: {firm_id,ψ i ,p i ,[L i ,U i ]}, write risk entropy potential data.
[0173] Example: Case company X is in the asset-heavy manufacturing industry, and its optical intensity dropped by 25% in two weeks under a macro-tightening scenario. X (t) rises rapidly, and the discrete Schrödinger solution shows ψ X (t) The amplitude dropped to the initial value of 0.6 within 5 days. After path integral correction The tail decay exponent changes from 2.0 to 1.3, and the entropy potential ψ X Increased by 0.18, the twelve-month default probability p X The lower confidence limit of 0.22 exceeded the regulatory threshold, prompting a system alert. If the correction step is eliminated, the default rate would only increase by 0.04, indicating a risk of underreporting.
[0174] Preferably, the discrete Schrödinger equation is numerically solved using an alternating implicit scheme, and the sum of the probabilities of the risk wave function is kept constant at each time step.
[0175] In the quantum risk measurement stage of the present invention, the graph Laplacian operator L=DW introduces the structural information of the causal topological hypergraph into the dynamic equation. If the Schrödinger equation is solved directly in discrete time using an explicit Euler or central difference format, the wave function normalization constraint will be violated due to numerical dissipation or dispersion, and the default probability will accumulate errors with each step. To ensure that the sum of probabilities is still equal to 1 within a long time window, the present invention adopts a discrete Schrödinger equation solver using an alternating implicit format (Crank–Nicolson format). This format essentially takes half of the explicit and implicit weights, maintains time reversal symmetry, and thus numerically inherits the unitary property of the continuous Schrödinger equation.
[0176] Alternating implicit discretization principle, continuous form:
[0177]
[0178] When discretizing, take the time step Δτ and let ψ n represents the column vector of the wave function at step n. The alternating implicit format is written as:
[0179]
[0180] Where I is the identity matrix, is the diagonal matrix of the local potential field on the half-step. Both the left and right sides contain unknown quantities ψ n+1 , so a system of linear equations must be solved. Since the coefficient matrix is symmetric positive definite with a purely imaginary antisymmetric part, conjugate gradients or biconjugate gradients are used for stable convergence, and theoretically prove that the second norm of the wave function remains unchanged.
[0181] Probability conservation and risk interpretation, wave function normalization: Represents a total probability of 1. If the numerical format violates this constraint, subsequent default probability calculations This distortion can result in an overestimation or underestimation, directly impacting credit limits or reserve requirements. The alternating implicit format automatically maintains inner product conservation at each time step, ensuring that default probability curves remain comparable over the forecast period, and the entropy potential integral does not drift.
[0182] In practical applications, linear solvers: causal hypergraphs can have tens of thousands of nodes and l is sparse. Using multi-threaded sparse LU as pre-conditioned biconjugate gradient, each step can converge to 10 after 5 iterations. -8 Residual. Step size selection: 0.5 nanoseconds, consistent with the frame rate of the photon interferometer network, eliminating the need for interpolation. Parallelization strategy: Parallel partitioning in the node dimension and pipeline execution in the time dimension, completing 128 steps of evolution in 40 milliseconds on a single GPU. Ciphertext compatibility: The solution process locally decrypts the α-correlation weights within the trusted execution environment, and immediately destroys the intermediate plaintext after calculation, ensuring that only the energy spectrum is visible to the outside world and that specific corporate financial indicators cannot be inferred.
[0183] Example: In the scenario of rapid interest rate rise, the initial optical intensity of node A is high, which leads to the local potential field V A (t) rises. The alternating implicit solution shows that |ψ A (t)| 2 The peak value dropped by 18% and stabilized at a new plateau after 80 steps. Using explicit Euler instead, the peak value dropped by over 25% and the total probability dropped by 5%, leading to an overestimation of the default probability. In a real-world loan review system, the alternating implicit results only reduced the loan limit by 8%, while the explicit Euler method reduced it by 13%, resulting in excessive tightening. Subsequent tracking showed that Enterprise A made normal repayments, demonstrating that the probability conservation property of this invention prevented misjudgments.
[0184] Preferably, the fractional quantum path integral correction adjusts the path weight of the risk wave function through a fractional-order diffusion kernel to obtain a corrected wave function, and calculates the risk entropy potential, the default probability of a preset prediction period and its confidence interval based on the corrected wave function.
[0185] Fractional quantum path integral correction aims to compensate for the underestimation of long-memory tail risk by discrete Schrödinger dynamics. Traditional integer-order diffusion only produces a Gaussian tail, but real corporate defaults often exhibit power-order tails: multiple rounds of refinancing failures and recursive exposure of cross-chain guarantees will cause the probability of default to maintain a non-zero density in the long term. This paper introduces a fractional-order diffusion kernel into the path integral framework, recalibrates the risk wave function ψ(t) with a path weight, and obtains a corrected wave function ψ(t). * (t). Then ψ * (t) Calculate the risk entropy potential, predict the periodic default probability and confidence interval, and thus characterize the long-tail credit risk using the form of quantum probability theory.
[0186] Fractional diffusion kernel principle, in Brownian path integral, propagation kernel:
[0187]
[0188] Describes the probability amplitude of a particle evolving from position r' to r. The Gaussian kernel corresponds to integer-order diffusion and has no memory. To characterize fractional-order memory, the present invention uses a fractional-order diffusion kernel:
[0189]
[0190] Where ν∈(0,1) is a fractional exponent. When ν approaches 0, the kernel degenerates into a Gaussian; the larger ν is, the slower the tail decays. To be consistent with network memory, take: α i is the average value of the node fractional order. Path sampling and weight adjustment include:
[0191] 1. Path generation: embed each node into the Euclidean coordinate r in the graph space i (Use multidimensional scaling to expand). Assume that the single segment duration is τ0 and the total number of steps is N τ =T / τ0. Sampling path for any starting point node i The path transition probability is normalized by the adjacency weight.
[0192] 2. Path weight, original Gaussian weight:
[0193]
[0194] Fractional order correction factor: Potential field suppression factor: Total weight: w(γ) = w G(γ)w F (γ)w V (γ).
[0195] 3. Monte Carlo estimation, sample N for each node p Paths. Corrected wave function:
[0196]
[0197] Z i is the normalization constant to ensure
[0198] Risk entropy and default probability, risk entropy: Entropy potential measures the dispersion of probability distribution. A large value indicates that the risk is dispersed over a long period of time and is difficult to eliminate.
[0199] Probability of Default: Δ is the preset forecast period, such as 360 days.
[0200] The confidence interval includes: prior Beta (a0, b0). Observed true default k i times, survival days i . Posterior Beta(a0+k i ,b0+s i -k i ). Lower confidence limit L i is the posterior 5% quantile, upper confidence limit U i is the posterior 95% quantile.
[0201] The numerical implementation includes: parallel sampling, node division into subgraphs, and parallel generation of paths for each subgraph on the GPU; N p =10 5 A single cycle takes about 35ms. Weight calculation, logarithmic accumulation to avoid underflow, and then exponential normalization. Convergence monitoring, if the path weight variance is less than 1e-4 in two consecutive rounds, stop sampling early. Probability correction, if Use the normalization factor to globally scale once to ensure conservation.
[0202] Example: Under the energy price shock scenario, the optical intensity of the refinery node A drops sharply, resulting in an increase in the potential field, with the fractional order index v = 0.62. After sampling 1,000,000 paths, Maintaining a 0.003 platform in the 120-240 day range achieves a long tail. A The entropy potential Ψ is 0.28, which is 11 percentage points higher than the 0.17 of the uncorrected model. AAn increase of 0.21, with a confidence interval of [0.19, 0.37], triggers the internal control red line, and the platform initiates credit enhancement negotiations. If an integer-order kernel is used, the path weight will be almost zero after 90 days, resulting in the underestimation of long-tail risks.
