Qiskit Fall Fest 2025 - Nobel Prize, Real World Activities for QC

Join us at the Montlake Branch of the SPL in the Meeting Room for the Qiskit Fall Fest 2025 sponsored by IBM Quantum and implemented by the Seattle Quantum Computing Meetup. We were chosen to host an Extension Event. There were 600 applications, from which IBM Quantum selected 150 hosts! Our version of the Fall Fest runs from Oct 1 - Nov 3.

The Fall Fest is a great way to learn about Quantum Computers and Quantum Computing, and also to learn specifics about the Qiskit SDK.

If you missed our kickoff on Oct 4 at the Montlake branch of the SPL, no worries, you can attend this meeting and get up to speed!

Agenda:
-What is the Qiskit Fall Fest? (quick)
-What is the International Year of Quantum Sci and Tech? (quick)
-Why is this year's Nobel Prize in Physics Important for QC?
-How can I solve a real problem using a Quantum Computer and/or write code to contribute to the Qiskit Community?
-What are some use cases for Quantum Computing?
-Address any questions and issues w/Discord, Qiskit, or the Challenges.
-Mingle with each other, talk about the Challenges.

If you have a specific topic that you would like to discuss, or have questions, you can send me a direct message in meetup (Natalie Hawkins), or make a comment on this page, and we'll try to incorporate it into the agenda.

Hope to see you soon!
