Summary

Cyber-physical systems (CPS) play an important role in almost all areas of our daily life. CPS have been characterized as smart systems integrating interacting physical and computational components.

CPS are also sometimes seen as a new generation of networked intelligent embedded systems. Control, computation, and communication are the three main pillars were CPS concepts rely.

Applications of CPS can be found in almost all areas of human life, e.g. home area networks and smart buildings, smart cities, smart grids, manufacturing systems, robotics, transportation systems, medical devices, etc.

The methods and tools that have been used for their development have been evolving adapting to new challenges, namely those posed by new technology developments.

The aim of this Special Issue is to discuss recent advances on the modeling, specification, analysis, validation, verification and implementation of CPS, addressing emerging trends, challenges and opportunities in different areas of application of CPS.

    Abstract Quantum circuit fidelity is a crucial metric for assessing the accuracy of quantum computation results and indicating the precision of quantum algorithm execution. The primary methods for assessing quantum circuit fidelity include direct fidelity estimation and mirror circuit fidelity estimation. The former is challenging to implement in practice, while the latter requires substantial classical computational resources and numerous experimental runs. In this paper, we propose a fidelity estimation method based on Layer Interleaved Randomized Benchmarking, which decomposes a complex quantum circuit into multiple sublayers. By independently evaluating the fidelity of each layer, one can comprehensively… More >
