Summary
This NSF CAREER project aims to establish a new paradigm of “fully quantum” computing for power grid analytics. The project will bring transformative changes by redefining how linear quantum operators can be harnessed to address nonlinear power grid analysis, thereby opening a new pathway for end-to-end quantum computing technologies capable of tackling critical power system computational tasks. This will be achieved by fusing quantum computing with analytic continuation to reformulate nonlinear power grid equations into an equivalent linear structure that can be solved directly and entirely
