Q-SE invites original contributions that span the full breadth of Quantum Software Engineering, embracing quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods research. We welcome work that pushes the boundaries of foundational theory, tackles pressing emerging challenges, and bridges the gap between conceptual advances and practical deployment. Submissions can also include industry experience reports, offering actionable insights into how established approaches can be adapted, refined, or scaled in real-world contexts; research methods for collaborative research, creating stronger pathways for shared discovery between academia and industry; and industrial challenges with real-world quantum software engineering, highlighting problems where cross-sector expertise is needed to devise robust, impactful solutions.

Submissions will centre on the following themes, while also considering additional relevant topics: quantum software, quantum programming and software engineering.
