Overview
The Quantum Finance Frontier (QFF 2025) is the official hackathon of the Qiskit Fall Fest 2025 – Paris-Saclay Edition, organized by Mila, Quandela, and Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF). This 24-hour challenge invites participants to design quantum or hybrid algorithms tackling real-world problems in financial modeling.
Entirely online, QFF 2025 begins on November 21 and runs continuously for 24 hours. Instead of a live presentation, teams will submit a 3–5-minute recorded video explaining their approach and results. The event concludes with public highlights and recognition of outstanding solutions.
