About Qiskit Fall Fest
About Qiskit Fall Fest
Qiskit Fall Fest is a series of events that brings together students who are interested in the exciting field of quantum information. The week of festivities includes workshops for people who are new to Qiskit, coding challenges for a range of skill levels, an art challenge to express your creative side, and a speaker from IBM. You'll have the chance to make connections, explore quantum computing principles, and learn the basics of coding on a quantum computer. Also, come enjoy free food (see the Schedules for event-specific details)! Participate in coding challenges and a quantum art challenge for the chance to win IBM swag! Build programming skills and work towards an IBM certificate to put on your resume! No prior experience is required - Fall Fest is all about learning and introducing you to what's possible with quantum! For a full itinerary for the week, check out the Schedule!

Minh Tran
Minh Tran is a quantum researcher who graduated from the University of Maryland in 2021. After completing his degree, Minh embarked on a journey as a postdoctoral researcher at MIT before finding a home at IBM as a research scientist. Minh’s work explores the intricate connections between quantum algorithms and quantum many-body physics.
Talk Abstract: In this talk, I will discuss several recent advancements in error mitigation strategies for estimating expectation values of local observables, where we introduce a new Probabilistic Error Cancellation (PEC) estimator leveraging light-cone structures to drastically reduce sampling overhead. I will also describe our ‘shaded lightcone’ approach, which combines classical bounds on error channel influence on the expectation values to optimize the bias-variance trade-off, achieving up to a two-order-of-magnitude runtime reduction for circuits like 127-qubit Trotter circuits.
