Quiskit Fall Fest 2024 Ecole Polytechnique

About

Join us for an exciting, global celebration of quantum computing innovation. The Qiskit Fall Fest is an annual event that brings together students, researchers, and enthusiasts from around the world to explore the cutting-edge world of quantum technologies.

For the first time, in collaboration with IBM Quantum, the CS Committee from the bachelor program of Ecole Polytechnique has brought this event to Paris. Featuring hands-on workshops, hackathons, and expert-led sessions, the event will showcase the power of Qiskit—an open-source quantum computing framework—and its transformative potential across various industries.

The event is designed for everyone—from complete beginners to experienced quantum enthusiasts. Whether you're just hearing about quantum computing for the first time or already familiar with the field, this global celebration offers something for you. With beginner-friendly workshops, hands-on coding sessions, and expert guidance, you'll learn how to use Qiskit, an open-source quantum computing framework, and gain real-world skills. No prior knowledge required—come join us and discover how you can be part of the quantum revolution!
