We are pleased to announce we have been selected to host a Qiskit Fall Fest event this year, the world's largest series of student-led quantum computing events. QubitHub is bringing together talented quantum enthusiasts and experts from IBM Quantum. This event celebrates the incredible progress made in quantum computing over the last year. Experienced scientists and aspiring young enthusiasts will collaborate in workshops and hackathons right here on QubitHub.
2025 marks the centenary of modern quantum mechanics, a significant anniversary celebrated by the United Nations through the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology (IYQ). This year-long initiative aims to raise public awareness of quantum science's past and future impact, acknowledging the foundational papers from 1925, such as Werner Heisenberg's matrix mechanics, that established the field. Events and conferences are being held globally to explore the theory's history, current applications in technology, and potential for future advancements.
To mark the 2025 International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, this year’s Qiskit Fall Fest will highlight a hundred years of progress in quantum research and innovation. The QubitHub team is preparing to be part of this festival that will focus on landmark experiments and key milestones from that first century.
This century marks a defining era for Science and Technology in Mexico. The creation of UNAM Physics, Mathematics, and Chemistry Institutes established a research university model where teaching and research thrived together. Visionaries such as Prof. Manuel Sandoval Vallarta, who trained at MIT in the 1920s, brought back to Mexico not only international research standards but also the foundations of Quantum Mechanics and experimental physics. Under his leadership, the country’s first Quantum Mechanics publications emerged, and a pioneering cosmic rays laboratory was installed atop the Mining Palace—an enduring symbol of Mexican science and technology.
Today, our national strategy must embrace the transformative wave of Information Science and Technology—particularly Quantum Computing and Quantum Information. Awareness and understanding are essential to shape leadership and seize opportunities often overlooked by conventional perspectives.
These workshops aim precisely at that: building awareness and participation in Quantum Sciences and Technologies. Here, you will meet the key players in Quantum Information hardware and software, explore current global challenges, and discover how you can contribute to their solutions. At every stage of our national development, there is a quantum opportunity waiting to be taken.
Your leadership matters—for our country and our institutions. Through initiatives like QubitHUB, Mexico is embracing and pioneering new models of virtual research and education.
You don’t need to be an expert in quantum mechanics to attend a Qiskit Fall Fest. Many Fall Fest events are designed for newcomers, with workshops that introduce the basics of quantum computing step by step. The emphasis is often on coding with Qiskit (Python-based), so you can experiment with quantum circuits without needing deep physics knowledge. Students from computer science, engineering, physics, and even business backgrounds participate, the events are about learning and collaboration. You’ll have mentors, peers, and IBM Quantum members guiding you through.
Join us, take part in this transformation—and even better, help lead it
The Qiskit Fall Fest is a global series of quantum computing events organized mainly by students at universities (with support from IBM Quantum). It’s all about building community, learning, and collaborating around Qiskit (IBM’s open-source quantum software) and quantum computing in general.
Dive into the quantum world with us! We invite you to Qiskit Fall Fest 2025, an in-person event organized by the Centro de Investigación en Ingeniería y Ciencias Aplicadas (CIICAp) in Cuernavaca, Morelos. Connect with experts, share your ideas, and learn about the latest trends in quantum computing. This is an ideal space for everyone, from beginners to professionals.
This event offers a unique opportunity to meet industry professionals, share projects, and forge new collaborations. Enjoy inspiring talks, poster sessions, and networking opportunities. It is designed for both those taking their first steps in quantum computing and experienced professionals looking to expand their network.

QBronze183 was an international workshop on quantum computing and programming organized by QubitHub, QBulgaria, and QWorld. The initiative focused on advancing quantum computing through education, outreach, industry collaboration, and global community engagement.
The workshop was held virtually on March 7, 8, 14, and 15, 2026, bringing together students, researchers, and professionals from around the world with a shared interest in quantum technologies.
This edition coincided with International Women's Day and placed special emphasis on inclusion, diversity, and female leadership in quantum computing. The program highlighted the importance of amplifying women's voices in the field and fostering a more inclusive quantum ecosystem.
The workshop featured keynote talks delivered by distinguished international speakers, who shared insights into cutting-edge research, real-world applications, and career pathways in quantum computing. These sessions aimed to inspire the next generation of scientists and practitioners.
Workshop materials, including presentations, educational resources, and session recordings, are available for public access. These resources are intended to support continued learning and serve as a reference for anyone interested in exploring quantum computing.
