Our Mission

The Qiskit Fall Fest at Haverford College aims to democratize quantum computing education and foster innovation in the quantum technology space. We believe that quantum computing will revolutionize how we solve complex problems, and we're committed to preparing the next generation of quantum developers.

What is Qiskit?

Qiskit is an open-source SDK for working with quantum computers at the level of pulses, circuits, and application modules. It provides tools for creating and manipulating quantum programs and running them on prototype quantum devices and simulators.

Developed by IBM, Qiskit is the most widely used quantum computing framework, with a vibrant community of developers, researchers, and educators worldwide.
