Workshop on Quantum Computing and Quantum-Inspired Technology for Data-Intensive Systems and Applications (Q-Data 2024) (Event)

Description

Q-Data is a half-day workshop, collocated with SIGMOD 2024, that explores the potential of quantum computing and quantum-inspired hardware accelerators for data processing and data management. Whereas quantum computing started out as a purely theoretical concept, the last few years have seen a “Cambrian explosion” of first-generation commercial quantum hardware culminating from decades of foundational research. Players, including the likes of Google, IBM, and Intel, as well as startup companies like IQM, D-Wave, IonQ, and Rigetti, are now producing hardware devices that implement quantum computing using various technologies. At the same time, the recent advances in quantum computing have inspired a new generation of classical hardware accelerators, offered commercially by providers such as Fujitsu, Toshiba, and 1Qubit, that mirror the interfaces and take inspiration from internal processes of quantum computers. These accelerators, including digital annealers, as well as GPU- and FPGA-based simulators of quantum computation, obtain approximate solutions for extremely large, combinatorial optimization problems quickly.
