What is Qiskit Fall Fest?
The Qiskit Fall Fest is a global series of events held at universities worldwide on the theme of quantum computing. Taking place annually from October to November, these events are primarily planned and run by students with support from IBM Quantum, featuring a diverse range of programs.
The UTokyo Qiskit Fall Fest 2025 offers a venue for students interested in quantum technology to learn and experience quantum computers through workshops and a hackathon, aiming to foster an environment of collaborative learning and challenge among participants.
The year 2025 marks the 100th anniversary of the initial development of quantum mechanics. To honor this history, Qiskit Fall Fest in 2025 is themed around the progress of quantum science and innovation. Let's take a step together toward the future of quantum computing from the University of Tokyo!
