about this event
As part of Qiskit Fall Fest 2026, QuantumX is excited to present Quantum Hack Day Kochi, a beginner-friendly quantum computing hackathon designed to help participants learn, explore, and build with Qiskit, IBM's open-source quantum computing SDK. Unlike traditional hackathons that focus solely on competition, Quantum Hack Day emphasizes learning, mentorship, collaboration, and hands-on experience.
Participants will work in teams to solve guided quantum computing challenges, build simple quantum applications, and gain practical exposure to quantum programming. Whether you're completely new to quantum computing or have already started exploring Qiskit, this event provides a supportive environment to learn by doing, connect with fellow enthusiasts, and experience what it feels like to work on real quantum problems.
Throughout the day, participants will have access to mentors, learning resources, mini-workshops, and networking opportunities with members of the growing quantum ecosystem. This event serves as the hands-on innovation challenge of Qiskit Fall Fest 2026, bringing together students, developers, researchers, and curious minds from across Kerala and beyond.
What You'll Gain: Introduction to Qiskit and Quantum Programming; hands-on experience building quantum circuits and applications; learn how to use the IBM Quantum Platform; team-based problem-solving and collaboration; guidance from mentors and quantum practitioners; exposure to real-world applications of quantum computing; networking with students, developers, researchers, and industry professionals; opportunity to showcase your ideas and projects; certificates of participation and recognition; become part of the QuantumX and Qiskit community.
Who Should Attend: students from any discipline; engineering and science graduates; PhD scholars and researchers; working professionals; tech enthusiasts; anyone curious about quantum computing and future technologies. No prior quantum computing experience is required. Basic Python knowledge helps but isn't required.
Why Join: Quantum computing is rapidly transforming industries ranging from cybersecurity and finance to healthcare and artificial intelligence. However, many aspiring learners never get the opportunity to gain practical experience. Quantum Hack Day Kochi is your chance to move beyond theory and start building. Whether you want to explore a future career in quantum technologies, learn Qiskit, meet like-minded innovators, or simply experience your first quantum project, this event is designed to help you take that first step. Come for the learning. Stay for the innovation. Build the future with Qiskit.
