The geometric Langlands correspondence was introduced by Beilinson and Drinfeld as a tool to solve quantum Hitchin systems such as the Gaudin model. The correspondence can be understood following Kapustin and Witten as arising from S-duality in a topologically twisted 4-dimensional super Yang-Mills theory. In this talk I will describe a multiplicative deformation of the Hitchin system and explain a conjectural statement of the corresponding q-deformed correspondence. I will also give some motivations for the statement from the theory of higher deformation quantization and a deformed setup of Kapustin and Witten.
