ABOUT THE INITIATIVE

Capacity, built at APU.

Qiskit Fall Fest is a global community-led quantum-computing series. The APU edition brings that platform into one university community, connecting fundamentals, hands-on Qiskit practice, research questions and collaborative learning.

Expand access

Make quantum learning approachable to APU students and participants across levels of experience.

Connect communities

Bring students, researchers, educators and the Malaysian quantum community into the same learning environment.

Build capability

Move from quantum foundations to Qiskit workflows, collaborative challenges and practical project formulation.

02

SCIENTIFIC PROGRAMME

Eight connected areas of inquiry.

The programme connects foundational theory, current research and applied case studies across computing, biology, finance and emerging quantum technologies.
