As networks continue to evolve beyond 5 G, the Internet of Things (IoT) is expected to satisfy high demands for ultra-low latency, robust security, and resiliency in dynamic environments. Emerging technologies - particularly quantum technology - are a promising solution to address these challenges. This paper proposes a modular, hybrid quantum-classical architecture that seamlessly integrates quantum technologies such as secure quantum key sharing, quantum synchronization and quantum computing - into the existing IoT infrastructure. This approach supports compatibility with existing infrastructures while enabling next-generation capabilities. We explore the architectural principles of the IoT, leverage current standardization efforts, and illustrate practical use cases, including quantumassisted time synchronization and secure communication. With a focus on scalability and interoperability, the proposed framework provides a path towards quantum-enabled IoT networks. Such a hybrid quantum-classical regime forms the basis for a resilient quantum IoT infrastructure that is aligned with future networks requirements.

Hybrid quantum architecture for smart city security

Vita Santa Barletta, Danilo Caivano, Mirko De Vincentiis +2 more

Currently and in the near future, Smart Cities are vital to enhance urban living, address resource challenges, optimize infrastructure, and harness technology for sustainability, efficiency, and improved quality of life in rapidly urbanizing environments. Owing to the high usage of networks, sensors, and connected devices, Smart Cities generate a massive amount of data. Therefore, Smart City security concerns encompass data privacy, IoT vulnerabilities, cyber threats, and urban infrastructure risks, requiring robust solutions to safeguard digital assets, citizens, and critical services. Some solutions include robust cybersecurity measures, data encryption, AI-driven threat detection, public-private partnerships, standardized security protocols, and community engagement to foster a resilient and secure smart city ecosystem. For example, Security Information and Event Management helps in real-time monitoring, threat detection, and incident response by aggregating and analyzing security data. In this paper, we propose a Hybrid Quantum Architecture for bolstering Smart City security that exploits Quantum Machine Learning and SIEM to provide security based on Quantum Artificial Intelligence and patterns/rules. The validity of the architecture was proven by conducting experiments and a comparison of the QML algorithms with a state-of-the-art AI algorithms. We also provide a proof of concept dashboard for the proposed architecture.

Quantum-Enhanced Security for Smart Cities

Aanal Sanjivbhai Raval, Disha Bhatt, Vaishnavi Narendrasinh Solanki

This chapter presents an integrated quantum–federated intelligence framework for secure smart healthcare and smart city infrastructures. The proposed architecture combines edge IoT sensing, quantum-enhanced anomaly detection, federated learning orchestration, and quantum-secure communication layers. Hybrid quantum–classical models improve zero-day detection and high-dimensional pattern separability, while privacy-preserving federated mechanisms ensure data locality and regulatory compliance. Performance metrics, deployment constraints, and NISQ-era challenges are analyzed, outlining a practical roadmap toward scalable and resilient cyber-physical systems.
