Cyber-physical systems require accurate and reliable system models to ensure safe and efficient operation. Classical Gaussian Process Regression (GPR) provides uncertainty-aware predictions but suffers from high computational complexity, which limits its scalability in real-time applications. Quantum-assisted Gaussian process models reduce complexity in inference, but their practical use is constrained by noise and stability concerns in safety-critical environments. In this paper, we propose a hybrid classical-quantum system identification framework based on a Simplex architecture. The framework combines Quantum-Assisted Hilbert-Space Gaussian Process Regression (QA-HSGPR) as a high-performance module and classical GPR as a high-assurance module. A runtime monitor evaluates system safety and dynamically switches between the two models. Experiments on a Continuous Stirred-Tank Reactor benchmark demonstrate that the proposed framework enables a controllable trade-off between performance and safety for real-time cyber-physical systems.
This letter studies the budgeted scheduling of stealthy false data-injection (FDI) attacks against state estimators in cyber-physical systems. Existing event-based attack schedulers require full knowledge of the plant model and assume the residual distribution is exactly Gaussian…
Cyber-physical systems (CPSs) are increasingly deployed in every aspect of our lives and can be compromised through memory corruption vulnerabilities, allowing attackers to hijack the control flow and take over the system. Existing techniques mostly focus on detecting such attack…
The design of state observers for cyber-physical systems under sparse sensor biases, faults, or attacks has drawn substantial attention in recent years. While sparsity-based batch approaches, which collect multiple measurements and run offline, are relatively mature, online secur…
Quantum Markov models have been successfully used to accurately model various physical quantum systems in fields such as quantum optics, optomechanics and superconducting circuits and they provide the basis for (measurement-based) quantum feedback control. However, the quantum Ma…
