Welcome to the Qiskit Fall Fest Challenges!
We hope you have gained valuable insights into quantum computing and enjoyed the inspiring talks from our esteemed speakers from IBM Quantum. Now, we are thrilled to move on to the final and most exciting part of the event: the challenges!
- Eligibility: Participants must have attended at least one session to be eligible for the challenges.
- Participation: Participants can join all challenges available; however, each individual can win only one swag kit in the end, even if they win multiple challenges.
- Awarding: In cases where an individual wins multiple challenges, the organizers may decide to award the swag kit to the next best submissions. The final decision regarding awards rests with the organizers.
- Fair Play: Any instances of unfair means discovered during the challenges will result in disqualification and may lead to blacklisting from future contests organized by the club.
Get ready to showcase your skills and creativity in the world of quantum computing. Good luck to everyone, and may the best participants win!

Overview: The Qiskit Coding Challenges is an engaging team competition designed to enhance your skills in quantum programming and problem-solving.
This challenge consists of two coding notebooks that will be released on specified dates. Teams can consist of either 1 or 2 members.
Each team must complete the challenges outlined in the notebooks and submit their completed solutions by the designated deadline. Ensure that your submitted notebooks can be run directly on Google Colab.
- Pay close attention to the instructions and requirements outlined in each notebook.
- A practice Notebook has been included as well.
The top two performing teams across the two notebooks will each be awarded a Qiskit Fall Fest 2024 swag kit for each member of the team.
- Notebook 1 Release Date: 24th October 2024 6:00 PM IST (GMT+5:30) Submit Your Notebook
- Notebook 2 Release Date: 25th October 2024 6:00 PM IST (GMT+5:30) Submit Your Notebook.
- Submission Deadline: 30th October 2024 11:59 PM IST (GMT+5:30)
To be released
We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Qiskit Fall Fest 2024 for providing these notebooks as part of the Sponsored Event Package. Their support plays a crucial role in making this event a success and fostering the growth of the quantum computing community.
Overview: The IBM Composer Challenge is an exciting timed competition where individual participants will work the IBM Composer.
In this challenge, you will be provided with specific final quantum states. Your goal is to manipulate the initial states using given valid quantum gates to get as close as possible to the given final states.
This is an individual challenge and each participant must complete the task within the allotted time and submit screenshots of their solutions. Ensure that your solution clearly displays the quantum circuit you have constructed and the corresponding quantum state achieved.
The two top scorers will be awarded a Qiskit Fall Fest swag kit each as a reward for their outstanding performance!
