Qiskit Fall Fest:
A Decade of Quantum on Cloud
Exploring ten years of quantum computing, cloud access, and the ideas shaping what comes next.
Ten years. One cloud.
Infinite possibilities.
In 2016, IBM made quantum computing accessible to anyone on the planet with an internet connection. That was the beginning of a decade-long experiment in democratizing one of the most profound technologies ever conceived.
Qiskit Fall Fest 2026 gathers students, researchers, engineers, and curious minds to reflect on that journey — and to explore what comes next. Through talks, workshops, panels, and hands-on sessions, we'll examine the ideas that have shaped quantum computing and the ones that will define its future.
No quantum physics degree required. Just curiosity.
Your circuit. IBM's quantum computer. The cloud in between.
2016 → 2026.
Ten years that changed computing.
Turn quantum curiosity into something real.
Bring your boldest idea to a focused quantum hackathon. Build with Qiskit, learn from mentors, and present what you discover.
Join the HaQthonFind collaborators across computing, science, design, and business.
Prototype with accessible quantum tools and guided support.
Demo your work and add your voice to the next decade of quantum.
Not just a faster bit.
A fundamentally different one.
A classical bit is always either 0 or 1. No ambiguity. No in-between.
A qubit can exist in a superposition of 0 and 1 simultaneously — until it's measured.
Superposition
While unobserved, a qubit holds both 0 and 1 simultaneously with quantum probabilities. Measurement forces it to choose.
Entanglement
Two qubits can be linked such that measuring one instantly determines the state of the other, regardless of distance.
Interference
Quantum algorithms use interference to amplify correct answers and cancel wrong ones — the engine of quantum speedup.

Questions? We have answers.
Probably.
Absolutely not. Qiskit Fall Fest is designed for everyone — from complete beginners to experienced researchers. Our introductory sessions will bring you up to speed, and our advanced workshops will challenge experts. Curiosity is the only prerequisite.
Yes! Qiskit Fall Fest is free to attend for all registered participants, both in-person and virtually. We believe quantum education should be accessible to everyone.
Bring a laptop with Python installed. We recommend setting up a Qiskit environment beforehand — instructions will be sent to all registered participants a week before the event. We'll also have pre-configured cloud environments available.
Yes! The event is hybrid. All talks and panels will be live-streamed. Virtual participants can access workshop materials and join live Q&A sessions. Details will be shared closer to the event.
Yes! All registered participants who attend will receive a certificate of participation. Workshop completers will receive specific workshop completion certificates. Certificates will be issued digitally within two weeks of the event.
