contents In this work, we explore a time-fractional diffusion equation of order $α\in (0,1)$ with a stochastic diffusivity parameter. We focus on efficient estimation of the expected values (considered as an infinite dimensional integral on the parametric space corresponding to the random coefficients) of linear functionals acting on the solution of our model problem. To estimate the expected value computationally, the infinite expansions of the random parameter need to be truncated. Then we approximate the high-dimensional integral over the random field using a high-order quasi-Monte Carlo method. This follows by approximating the deterministic solution over the space-time domain via a second-order accurate time-stepping scheme in combination with a spatial discretization by Galerkin finite elements. Under reasonable regularity assumptions on the given data, we show some regularity properties of the continuous solution and investigate the errors from estimating the expected value. We report on numerical experiments that complement the theoretical results.
