IBM Quantum · ● Active · 1 Jun 2025

IBM Quantum Challenge is a biannual global event, run in Spring and Fall, where participants solve quantum computing problems with Qiskit on IBM Quantum's cloud platform. Editions vary in whether they run on real hardware or on simulators — the 2024 challenge focused on software simulation rather than requiring hardware access. Each challenge focuses on different themes such as quantum algorithms, error mitigation, or quantum applications, and is designed for skill levels from beginner to expert.
