01 / Qiskit Fall Fest

Qiskit Fall Fest is a global series of community-led quantum computing events, hosted each autumn by student groups and universities around the world with support from IBM Quantum. Every edition is designed and run locally, with talks, workshops and challenges built by students, for students.

02 / Qiskit & IBM Quantum

Qiskit is an open-source SDK for working with quantum computers at the level of circuits, operators and primitives. IBM Quantum put real quantum hardware on the cloud in 2016. The 2026 Fall Fest theme marks a decade of anyone, anywhere, being able to run a circuit on a real machine.

03 / The BME edition

Budapest's edition is organized by students at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics. For the second year in a row, BME has been selected to host Qiskit Fall Fest, this year from among more than 900 applications worldwide. Two days of quantum computing, all in English, free to attend, with no prior quantum experience required.
