SUMMARY:LPI Media Partner of National Quantum Fest 2026
DESCRIPTION:December 3-4\, 2026\nSri Siddhartha Institute of Technology\, Tumakuru\, Karnataka\, India\n\nLinux Professional Institute (LPI) is proud to be Media Partner of National Quantum Fest 2026\, a national-level quantum festival hosted by the Quantum & AI Research Cell (QARC) at Sri Siddhartha Institute of Technology (SSIT)\, about 70 km from Bengaluru. \nAbout National Quantum Fest 2026\nAt the center of the festival is an on-campus quantum hackathon\, with tracks in quantum\, AI\, software and GPU\, and teams free to work across them. Alongside the hackathon\, the program includes expert talks\, hands-on workshops and sponsor showcases\, leading to a grand finale on campus. The organizers expect hundreds of students to take part. SSIT has hosted state-level and national-level events and hackathons before\, including Technodea\, Saamarthya and Webathon. \nRegistration is not open yet. Interested participants can leave their details on the festival website to be notified when it opens. \n20% Discount on LPI Certifications\nEvery National Quantum Fest 2026 participant receives a 20% discount on one LPI certification exam\, shared by the organizers. Participants can also prepare with the LPI Learning Materials\, freely available online. \nFocus and Audience\nThe festival is built for students working at the meeting point of quantum computing\, AI and software development. Qiskit\, the main framework of the quantum track\, is open source\, and the environments students use to run it are built on the same open source foundations as the rest of modern computing\, Linux among them. \nLPI as Media Partner\nQuantum computing does not replace classical computing; it works alongside it. The students who will build quantum applications will also run the systems around them\, and those systems are open. That is why LPI supports National Quantum Fest: a new generation of developers learning\, from the start\, on open foundations. \nAbout QARC\nThe Quantum & AI Research Cell (QARC) is part of the Department of Computer Science & Engineering at Sri Siddhartha Institute of Technology\, Tumakuru. Its founder and president is Mohammed Owais. \nLinks\n\nNational Quantum Fest 2026: the festival website\nHackathon: the National Quantum Fest hackathon page\nLPI Learning Materials: the LPI Learning Materials portal\nLPI certifications: the LPI certification catalog
