Ready to Leap (by Co-Design)? Join Order Optimisation on Quantum Hardware
Summary: Quantum join ordering via QUBO reformulation; first implementation with gate-based QC and quantum annealing showing speedups vs classical for small instances. Co-design analysis of QPU properties and architectural improvements to tackle NISQ limits, aiming at scalable, practical QPU-assisted query optimisation. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
