Q-Data 2025 (http://qdataworkshop.com/) is the 2nd workshop, collocated with ACM SIGMOD/PODS 2025 (https://2025.sigmod.org/), that explores the potential of quantum computing and quantum-inspired hardware accelerators for data processing and data management. 

Topics of interest for the workshop include (but are not limited to):

• Enhancing database system components (e.g., query optimizer, query scheduler, transaction scheduler, authentication and integrity manager) with quantum computing and quantum-inspired accelerators
• Data processing systems that integrate quantum-based and quantum-inspired accelerators
• Data processing systems that integrate both quantum and classical computing approaches
• Quantum machine learning for autonomous database management, database tuning, workload management, and learned indexes
• Approaches for data exploration, discovery, and integration based on quantum computing and quantum-inspired hardware accelerators
• Formal analysis and experimental evaluations assessing the potential of quantum computing for specific use cases in data processing and data management
• Vision papers describing novel database system designs and novel use cases in data processing and management enabled by quantum computing
• Quantum computing libraries and programming interfaces for database systems
• Quantum computing enhanced data exploration, discovery, and integration
• Domain-specific approaches exploiting quantum computers and quantum-inspired accelerators for data analysis (e.g., in finance or health care) 

We are allowing submissions for full, short, and abstract papers. More details about the submission process are at http://qdataworkshop.com/. The workshop timeline is as follows:

• Paper submissions due: April 20, 2025 (11:59 PM Pacific Time)
• Notifications to authors: May 4, 2025 (11:59 PM Pacific Time)
• Camera-ready due: June 1, 2025 (11:59 PM Pacific Time)
