ICQDSIS 2026 is initiated to address the rapidly emerging convergence of quantum computing and data science, focusing on quantum-enhanced and quantum-inspired intelligent systems. The conference aims to provide a high-quality international forum for researchers and practitioners working on hybrid quantum-classical approaches, NISQ-era algorithms, and scalable intelligent applications. High-quality submissions will be attracted through an international program committee, invited keynote speakers, rigorous double-blind peer review, and topical relevance aligned with global research priorities.

CHRIST (Deemed to be University) was born out of the educational vision of St Kuriakose Elias Chavara, an educationalist and social reformer of the nineteenth century in South India. He founded the first Catholic indigenous congregation, Carmelites of Mary Immaculate (CMI), in 1831, which administers CHRIST (Deemed to be University). CHRIST was established on 15 July 1969 as an affiliated college, with the Vision of 'Excellence and Service'. It became a preferred educational institution in Bangalore, Delhi-NCR and Lavasa within the short period of inception. One of the first institutions in India to be accredited in 1998 by the NAAC, and subsequently in 2004 and 2016, CHRIST (Deemed to be University) has the top grade ‘A’ in the 4-point scale.
Today, the University offers many Undergraduate, Postgraduate and PhD Programmes in Humanities, Social Sciences, Science, Commerce, Management, Engineering, Education, Law, and Architecture to over 24000 students from all the states of India and about 60 different countries. In 2019, CHRIST (Deemed to be University) completed 50 glorious years of its existence and sterling contribution to the cause of higher education in India.

Department of Computer Science at CHRIST (Deemed to be University), Bangalore has created a niche in the realm of higher education in India through its programmes. Currently, the department of computational sciences offers a wide array of undergraduate courses with multiple specializations. It offers undergraduate and doctoral programmes. A dedicated research block with all the latest research facilities boosts the morale of the faculty and research scholars alike. This is an ideal place for students with a research bent of mind to explore his/her passion. Apart from academics, students are moulded holistically through various co-curricular and extracurricular activities.
