Get ready for Q|Topia>'s fun-filled Qiskit Fal l Fest event! Over the weekend of the 25th\, get stuck into Quantum Compu ting through art\, games\, honing programming skills and networking with brilliant minds.
https://www.leicesterunion.com/events/20384/5333/
\nAll participants are required to complete an online form b efore buying event tickets. This can be found here [insert link]. There i s no limit on the number of online participants\, however the in-person p articipants limit per day is 150. If you'\;re applying for the Hackath on\, applicaitons will be shortlisted to 20 in person and 20 remote hacke rs. Thus\, we cannot guarantee the constancy of the application deadline- if spaces run out sooner\, applications will close early so make sure to book your ticket soon!
\n\nDuring the ev ent\, we will provide computers and headphones for participants to use du ring the event. There will be lunch provided\, but no further catering so participants are encouraged to bring their own snacks.
\n\nTailored towards beginn er coders/participants with an interest in Quantum Computing but little e xperience\, no background knowledge is required to have fun during a Q|GA ME>\; event. This said\, there will be opportunities to learn Quantum C omputing basics\, such as Creating basic circuits\, using simulators and interpreting the results.
\n\nQ|Torials&g t\; are split into a storified presentation and a workshop. The presentat ion'\;s content will build from the fundamentals and will progress swi ftly through the topic covered e.g.\, Linguistics or Psychology. The work shop will then be an opportunity for participants to move at their own pa ce and apply knowledge learned during the presentation. These workshops w ill include checkpoints for different experience levels\, from beginner t hrough to intermediate and advanced. These three levels are broken down a s follows:
\n\n| Level\n | Background Knowledge | \n
| Beginner | \nNo background knowledge is assumed at this level. However\, curios ity and engagement in the presentation will help! | \n
| Intermediate | \n\n Intermediate participants will have some experience using Qi skit (knowledge of basic gates\, circuits and using Qiskit Packages)\, an d with Quantum Computing Mathematics\, such as Linear Algebra. \n \n |
| Advanced | \nAdvanced participants will be familiar with a rang e of Quantum Computing Algorithms such as Grover'\;s Algorithm. | \n

\n\nThe events being held over the weekend include Q|GAME>\;\, Q|Torial>\; and a Q|Athon>\; (Quantum Hackathon )- extentions of regular events ran by the society over the term. With th e background knowledge required \;established\, here is what to expec t from each one.
\n\nQuan tum Fractals is a session which will focus on the computation of fractal formation using Quantum Circuits. It will begin with a 30 minute \;pr esentation introducing the topic of fractals (its history\, mathematics a nd the different types of fractals that exist) and how we can use and und erstand Quantum Circuits through expanding creative fractal generation op tions. The coding notebooks\, which will be available to participants aft er the presentation\, will be described before the workshop gets underway . Participants will then begin the workshop at their recommended level\, and will code for 1 hour until the event finishes.
\n\nQuantum Linguistics begins with a stor ified presentation following the characters Alice\, Bob and Eve in the la nd of Q|Ystopia>\;. Throughout their journey\, they will realise the re lationship between \;the fields of Linguistics (the study of language formation) and Quantum Computing. After this 30 minute presentation\, th e coding workshop will begin. This workshop will be organized similarly t o the Quantum Fractals workshop- participants will begin at their levels checkpoint\, and will then probe topics explored in the presenation for a n hour.

\n\nAll even ts ran by the society are in line with its MVP (Mission Vision and Purpos e)\, and respect our values. To find out more about the society\, check o ut our homepage.
\n\nThrough ru nning focused events such as Q|Torials>\;\, Q|GAME>\; and Q|Athons> \; the society&rsquo\;s members will learn skills such as creative brains torming and collaboration as well as improve their quantum knowledge and gain valuable career insight. Our mission motivates both STEM and non-STE M students to probe into creative uses of Quantum Computing within an enc ouraging environment.
\n\nQ|Topia>\; will beco me an innovative quantum learning hub with its members being from diverse backgrounds. This innovation will express itself in the creation of a su stainable and continually evolving quantum start up within the next few y ears\, propelling the society towards being an active international colla borator with leading quantum organizations that resonate with its values. This new outreach will allow members to gain industry-level experience\, improve their CVs and network with potential future co-workers. With thi s vision in mind\, Q|Topia>\;&rsquo\;s impact will be transformative bo th for members and the field of Quantum Computing.
\n\nFocusing on the forthcoming global significance of Quantum Computing\, the society&rs quo\;s purpose lies in enabling individuals to navigate the Quantum indus try and create change through developing Quantum Computing knowledge and skillsets.

\n\nQ|Topia>\; is motivated by the power of curiosity to foster a close-knit community centred around t he question &lsquo\;Why?\,&rsquo\; which equips individuals with creative thinking and stimulates open communication and collaboration. For this r eason\, its three core values are Curiosity\, Caring and Creativity.
