Welcome!
Welcome to Qiskit Fall Fest 2026 at Korea University!
Thank you for your interest in our event.
Qiskit Fall Fest is a global series of quantum computing events organized by student communities with the support of IBM Quantum. At Korea University, the event is hosted by QUICK (Korea University Quantum Information Society), with support from IBM Quantum, the School of Quantum at Korea University, and QISCA.
The event will take place from November 9 to November 19, 2026, and is open to Korea University students from all academic backgrounds.
Qiskit is an open-source software development kit developed by IBM that enables users to build, simulate, and execute quantum circuits. Our goal is to make quantum computing more accessible to students, particularly those who have little or no prior experience in the field.
This year's program combines invited talks, online Qiskit lectures, practice quizzes, and a hands-on hackathon. Participants will have opportunities to explore fundamental quantum computing concepts, become familiar with Qiskit, and apply what they have learned to practical problems.
No prior knowledge of quantum computing or Qiskit is required. Whether you are completely new to quantum computing or already interested in the field, we encourage you to join us.
We look forward to welcoming you to Qiskit Fall Fest 2026 at Korea University!

Kickoff & Guest Talks
Date: November 9, 2026 (Monday)
Time: 18:00β20:30
Venue: Yoo-Im-Soon Hall, Mediheal EES Hall, Korea University
The kickoff session marks the beginning of Qiskit Fall Fest 2026 at Korea University.
We will introduce the event, explain the overall program, and provide participants with an overview of the activities taking place throughout the festival.
The session will also feature invited talks, including a presentation by Professor Minhyuk Kim, offering participants an opportunity to explore current topics in quantum information science and quantum computing.
An additional invited speaker will be announced.
Online Qiskit Lectures
Release Date: November 12, 2026 (Thursday)
Time: 18:00
Format: Online
The online Qiskit lectures are designed to help participants become familiar with quantum computing and its implementation using Qiskit. The lectures will provide foundational knowledge and introduce practical approaches to working with quantum circuits. These learning materials are intended to prepare participants for the practice quizzes and the upcoming hackathon.
Practice Quizzes
Dates: November 14β15, 2026 (SaturdayβSunday)
Format: Online
Participants will have the opportunity to reinforce their understanding of the concepts introduced in the online lectures through practice quizzes. The quizzes are intended to help participants review essential concepts, gain confidence in working with quantum circuits, and prepare for the hackathon.
IBM Guest Talk & Hackathon
Date: November 19, 2026 (Thursday)
Time: 18:00β21:00
Venue: Room 231, Asan Science Building, Korea University
The final in-person event will feature a guest talk from IBM Quantum, followed by a hands-on hackathon.
The hackathon provides an opportunity for participants to apply the concepts and skills they have learned throughout the program to quantum computing challenges using Qiskit.
The event will conclude the 2026 Qiskit Fall Fest at Korea University.
