A Quantum Optimization Framework for Data-Assimilation-Augmented Parameter Estimation

Parameter estimation is a fundamental challenge in the calibration of ordinary differential equation (ODE) models, where repeated numerical integration can lead to high computational cost. In this work, we investigate whether quantum algorithms can be leveraged to assist parameter estimation in nonlinear dynamical systems. We develop a hybrid classical–quantum framework that reformulates a data-assimilation-augmented parameter … Read more

A Data-Assimilation-Augmented Optimization Framework for Parameter Estimation in Dynamical Systems

Parameter estimation in nonlinear dynamical systems from observational data is a fundamental inverse problem with applications in many disciplines such as epidemiology, systems biology, climate science, and related fields. In practice, this is further complicated by the fact that observational data are often noisy, sparse, and available only for a subset of the state variables. … Read more
