*************************************************************************
** Aims of the Workshop **
The field of quantum computing has experienced remarkable progress
after decades of research and development. Prototypes of quantum
computers already exist and have been made available to users through
cloud services (e.g., IBM Q experience, Google quantum AI, or Xanadu
quantum cloud). While fault-tolerant and large-scale quantum computers
are not available yet, the potential of this new technology is
undeniable. Quantum algorithms have the proven ability to either
outperform classical approaches for various tasks or are impossible to
be efficiently simulated by classical means under reasonable
complexity-theoretic assumptions. Even imperfect current-day
technology is speculated to exhibit computational advantages over
classical systems.
For most database researchers, quantum computing and quantum machine
learning are still new research fields. The goal of this workshop is
to bring together academic researchers and industry practitioners from
multiple disciplines (e.g., database, AI, software, physics, etc.) to
discuss the challenges, solutions, and applications of quantum
computing and quantum machine learning that have the potential to
advance the state of the art of data science and data management
technologies. Our purpose is to foster the interaction between
database researchers and more traditional quantum disciplines, as well
as industrial users. The workshop serves as a forum for the growing
quantum computing community to connect with database researchers to
discuss the wider questions and applications of how quantum resources
can benefit data science and data management tasks, and how quantum
software can support this endeavor.
We believe that many unsolved and interesting issues can be found at
boundaries and intersections between different fields and that there
are insufficient venues to publish such cross-disciplinary results. We
also believe that an important aspect of future quantum computing will
concern issues of handling data in one way or another. This workshop
will serve as a venue not only to discuss early, experimental results
in research, but also to feature a demonstration part with the
intention of providing attendees with first-hand experience in using
novel quantum computing techniques that go beyond the simple examples
offered by various web services. This will give researchers a
realistic intuition about quantum computing for data science and data
management tasks.
** Categories of Papers **
The workshop solicits papers of the following categories:
- Research Papers propose new approaches, theories or techniques
related to quantum data science and management including new data
structures, protocols and algorithms. They should make substantial
theoretical and empirical contributions to the research field.
- System Papers describe new systems and whole frameworks for
enabling quantum data science and management.
- Experiments and Analysis Papers focus on the experimental
evaluation of existing approaches including data structures and
algorithms for quantum data science and management and bring new
insights through the analysis of these experiments. Results of
Experiments and Analysis Papers can be, for example, showing the
benefits of well-known approaches in new settings and environments,
opening new research problems by demonstrating unexpected behavior or
phenomena, or comparing a set of traditional approaches in an
experimental survey.
- Application Papers report practical experiences on applications of
quantum data science and management. Application Papers might describe
how to apply quantum technologies to specific application domains.
- Vision Papers identify emerging new or future research issues and
directions and describe new research visions for quantum data science
and management. The new visions will potentially have significant
impacts on society.
- Demo Papers deal with innovative approaches and applications for
quantum data science and management. These papers describe a showcase
of the proposed approach/application. We are especially interested in
demonstrations having a WOW-effect.
The length of papers must be within 5 pages to 10 pages. Accepted
papers will be published in the CEUR Workshop proceedings
(CEUR-WS.org) and presented as oral presentations.
