In this talk, I will give a brief overview of the p-adic theory of differential equations and its application to quantum differential equations arising in enumerative geometry. This perspective reveals similarities with mirror symmetry, manifested through p-adic exponential sums. I will also discuss natural q-deformations of these equations, which are expected to interpolate this picture across different primes.
