Abstract
This paper introduces quantum computing as a necessary and viable tool in addressing the needs of a modernized power grid. The application of quantum computing in enhancing physical security of the grid - an increasingly difficult problem to solve- is investigated. A comparative study based on mathematically proven computing performance measures shows the merits of the proposed method and further unveils the potential benefits of quantum computing in improving grid performance.
