How can we collectively build the capacity needed to sustain the long-term advancement of the quantum science and technology ecosystem?
Qiskit Fall Fest is a global series of community-led quantum-computing events, hosted primarily on university campuses and organised by local leaders. Through workshops, coding challenges and hackathons, research talks, panels and networking, it creates opportunities for students, educators and researchers to learn, build and connect. The 2026 edition celebrates ten years of quantum computing on the cloud.
Organising Qiskit Fall Fest 2026: Malaysia turns this question into collective action: local organisers use a global platform and shared resources to expand access to quantum education, build leadership, connect institutions and communities, and develop the durable regional capacity needed for the ecosystem to grow.

Scientific programme
The programme connects foundational theory, current research and applied case studies across computing, biology, finance and emerging quantum technologies.
Qubits, superposition, entanglement, circuits and measurement as the foundations of quantum computation.
From research to viable ventures: use-case validation, business models, intellectual property and pathways to commercialisation.
Network propagation and quantum-ready approaches to connected risk.
Evolving dynamical systems that transform temporal information.
Organic complexity viewed through restrained quantum and information motifs.
Redundancy, stabiliser measurements and the recovery of fragile quantum information.
Bridges between institutions, disciplines and regional communities.
Curvature, discrete geometry and questions at the foundations of spacetime.
