Celebrating 100 Years of Quantum Mechanics with the BasQ Qiskit Fall Fest 2025

2025 marks the centenary of modern quantum mechanics — a milestone recognized by the United Nations as the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology (IYQ). To honor this historic occasion, we're bringing the celebration to our community with the BasQ Qiskit Fall Fest 2025, supported by IBM Quantum. Qiskit Fall Fest is a student-led, global series of events that unites people to learn, collaborate, and explore the world of quantum computing. Our edition will feature a hackathon and a range of other exciting activities — stay tuned for updates!

This is an exciting time — the quantum industry is advancing at an unprecedented pace and is on track to reach quantum advantage by 2026. Through the BasQ Qiskit Fall Fest, we get to be part of that journey. Participants will use Qiskit, the world's most performant quantum software development kit, and running circuits on utility-scale hardware built to return meaningful results.

The future of quantum isn't built alone — it's shaped by investing in students and communities, sharing knowledge, and empowering the next generation of quantum leaders. Whether you're just beginning your quantum journey or already building with Qiskit, the Qiskit Fall Fest is your chance to celebrate the past, present, and future of quantum mechanics — together.
