Connecting the "who’s who" in quantum computing software

Quantum computing is becoming a reality, and software for this promising technology is becoming key for its successful utilization. As a result, numerous players frequently introduce new software solutions. The Munich Quantum Software Forum (#MQSF) aims to bring together the “who’s who” in quantum computing software by providing a forum to present their software, exchange ideas, and discuss the future of quantum software. 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).

Because of this success, a third edition will take place October 20-21, 2025. This page provides all information about the event. More precisely:
