Hello guys. I have developed an application in qt and connected a database to it by SSMS Express. How can I deploy this program so that this data is available to the program when installed on another computer?

What do you mean by "SSMS Express"? Do you mean "SQL Express"? "SSMS" ("SQL Server Management Studio") is just the name of the MS interactive management tool for SQL Server.Do you mean you want to provide a backup copy of your data for the end-user to populate a database if they install SQL Express on their system, so that your program can access that data?
Assuming so, it seems a shame you chose SQL Express, when you could have gone for SQLite, where distribution of data would just be a file included in your package.

Hi
Well you would create an Installer for your app and then bundle the SQL Express installer with that and
make it install the DB system as part of your app's setup.https://www.hanselman.com/blog/download-sql-server-express
Qt has an install maker but it has a hard learning curve IMHO
