QP 2025

Classical computing is reaching its limit. Thus, it is necessary to revolutionize the current computing form with novel computing paradigms. Towards this end, quantum computing is one of the promising computing paradigms. However, programming quantum computers differs significantly from classical computing due to novel features of quantum computing, such as superposition and entanglement. QP 2025 will provide a platform for researchers and practitioners interested in the Art, Science, and Engineering of Quantum Programming and its relation with classical programming to discuss research challenges, possible solutions, and future research directions. Such discussion could build the road map for quantum programming.

Motivation

There is a significant rise in interest in quantum computing (QC). At the same time, there is a great need for efficient and intuitive programming of quantum computers, as the present form of programming quantum computers stays very close to the hardware. Thus, it is necessary to devise novel approaches to the Art, Science (both theoretical and empirical), and Engineering of quantum programming. QP 2025 will provide a platform for researchers to present their works on these aspects of quantum programming and discuss future research directions to build a research roadmap for researchers and practitioners. With the involvement of practitioners, we also aim to see their opinions on practical challenges associated with quantum programming.

The workshop is intended for researchers, including students, at any stage of their careers. Moreover, practitioners are also a relevant audience for the workshop.

We foresee QP 2025 as a specialization of the Programming 2025 conference; thus, all topics covered by Programming 2025 that are tailored to quantum programming are relevant to QP 2025.

Submission Types

We invite submission of papers of the following types:

• Regular papers (8 pages): Novel research works, experience reports.
• Position paper (2 pages): Describing a well-argued position.
• Lighting Talks (Only Abstract, No Publication): challenges.

Regular papers will be evaluated with respect to the real-world significance of the described quantum programming experience as well as their ability to forge partnerships and ultimately yield successful solutions. Position papers represent a position on any aspect of the Art, Science, and Engineering of Quantum Programming with good argumentation. Lighting talks are abstracts that describe late-breaking results, work in progress, or real-world challenges. Both position papers and lighting talks abstracts will be evaluated according to their ability to generate discussion and suggest interesting areas for future research.

Submissions

The workshop proceedings will be published as part of the conference companion in the Dagstuhl OpenAccess Series in Informatics, which uses the paper template available on the OASIcs web page. Please follow the “Author instructions” and the available template for the OASIcs series when preparing your submissions.
