AI中文摘要：
依赖数字遥测的电网防御仍然容易受到隐蔽性攻击的影响，这些攻击在改变底层物理系统的同时，保持合理的报告状态。我们研究了氮-空位（NV）传感何时提供有用的独立物理通道，以及测量前的相干处理何时增加价值。在IEEE 14、30和118节点仿真中，结合Lindblad NV模型，我们评估了标准FDIA、BDD隐蔽、统计隐蔽和隐蔽拓扑攻击。结果揭示了可观测性层级：证据从数字遥测转移到报告与物理一致性，再到物理NV状态。量子计算感知（QCS）遵循这种选择性，仅在物理状态本身携带攻击证据时才具有信息性。然后，我们在匹配的测量预算下比较了QCS、常规4设置NV读出和层析成像。在case14上，每个传感器仅40次物理试验的匹配总预算下，QCS达到AP 0.944，而常规NV读出为0.800，层析成像为0.751；同样的低预算排序在case30和case118上也成立。随着额外测量变得可负担，多设置方法得以恢复，表明QCS的优势是测量效率优势，而非普遍精度优势。最后，我们探讨了这种优势在三个案例仿真中的差异。尽管量子到经典Fisher信息比从1.21倍增加到1.54倍，但在更困难的机制中，正常-攻击Helstrom分离度崩溃，而交错控制仅在case14上显著增加了该分离度，因此量子灵敏度不一定意味着任务相关的可区分性。我们的结果表明，实际实现的QCS效用取决于从物理扰动到状态分离、相干处理以及在任务资源约束下测量的完整链条。
英文摘要：
Power-grid defenses that rely on digital telemetry remain vulnerable to stealthy attacks that preserve plausible reported states while altering the underlying physical system. We study when Nitrogen-Vacancy (NV) sensing provides a useful independent physical channel, and when coherent processing before measurement adds value. Across IEEE 14-, 30-, and 118-bus simulations with Lindblad NV models, we evaluate standard FDIA, BDD-stealth, statistical-stealth, and concealed topology attacks. The results reveal an observability hierarchy: evidence shifts from digital telemetry, to reported-versus-physical consistency, to the physical NV state. Quantum Computational Sensing (QCS) follows this selectivity, becoming informative only when the physical state itself carries attack evidence. We then compare QCS, conventional 4-setting NV readout, and tomography under matched measurement budgets. At a matched total budget of only 40 physical trials per sensor on case14, QCS reaches AP $0.944$, versus 0.800 for conventional NV readout and 0.751 for tomography; the same low-budget ordering holds on case30 and case118. Multi-setting methods recover as additional measurements become affordable, showing that the QCS benefit is a measurement-efficiency advantage rather than a universal accuracy advantage. Finally, we ask where the benefit varies across the three case simulations. Although the quantum-to-classical Fisher-information ratio increases from 1.21x to 1.54x, Normal--Attack Helstrom separation collapses in the harder regimes, and interleaved control substantially increases that separation only on case14, thereby quantum sensitivity does not necessarily imply task-relevant distinguishability. Our results show that realized QCS utility depends on the full chain from physical perturbation to state separation, coherent processing, and measurement under the resource constraints of the task.
