The primary aim of this paper is to (provide tools to) compute Galois groups of classical irregular q-difference equations. We are particularly interested in quantizations of certain differential equations that arise frequently in the mathematical and physical literature, namely confluent generalized q-hypergeometric equations and q-Kloosterman equations.
