Connecting the “who’s who” in quantum computing software

Quantum computing is becoming a reality, and with recent accomplishments, software for this promising technology is becoming key for successful utilization. Numerous players frequently introduce new software solutions and the Munich Quantum Software Forum (#MQSF) aims to bring them together. The first and second edition in 2023 and 2024 each offered two full days of content and attracted hundreds of participants from the community (see corresponding summaries below).

The audience will be composed of other fellow software developers, end-users, and other stakeholders.
We are expecting plenty of opportunities for networking and outreach to potential collaborators.

More information and a link for registration to the event will follow soon, but save the date already today (October 20-21, 2025)!

Furthermore, after the MQSF, on October 22, 2025, the Bavarian State Minister of Science and the Arts cordially invites you to an exclusive event celebrating the 2025 International Year of Quantum Science and Technology in Munich. You may wanna save this date as well! More information on this event will follow later.

Location

The forum will take place in Munich with a vibrant quantum computing community, home of the Munich Quantum Valley Initiative (one of the biggest interdisciplinary initiatives on quantum computing worldwide), and several key players “in the neighborhood”.
