About Quantum Week

Why Quantum Week, and why now

An IBM Qiskit Fall Fest program hosted by QuantumRIT at MS Ramaiah Institute of Technology, Bengaluru — workshops and technical sessions from 27–29 October, followed by an intensive quantum hackathon on 30–31 October.

Qiskit Fall Fest is a global, community-led series of quantum computing events supported by IBM Quantum. Quantum Week 2026 is QuantumRIT's flagship edition — bringing hands-on Qiskit learning, real speakers and a hackathon together on the MSRIT campus in Bengaluru.

Whether you're writing your first quantum circuit or looking to build something ambitious in 24 hours, the program is designed to meet you where you are: beginner-friendly workshops, deeper technical sessions, and an optional hackathon for those ready to build.
