# Open source
|
|
|
|
Since 2016, IBM Quantum™ has harnessed the power of community-driven innovation by making quantum computing resources accessible to everyone via the cloud.
|
|
This groundbreaking initiative includes open-sourcing key parts of the quantum software stack and introducing Qiskit, a versatile quantum computing framework.
|
|
Today, Qiskit is the most popular quantum framework, thanks in part to its vibrant community.
|
|
The Qiskit community is a dynamic and welcoming group of developers, scientists, and enthusiasts collaborating to advance software, research, education, and business through quantum computing.
|
|
By making this transformative technology open and accessible, we accelerate innovation and discover new applications.
|
|
|
|
As quantum technology evolves, contributions from the open-source [Qiskit ecosystem](https://www.ibm.com/quantum/ecosystem) projects and developers are crucial in shaping its future.
|
|
|
|
By joining the Qiskit community, you can participate in the development of quantum technologies.
|
|
Whether you are a seasoned quantum programmer or taking the first step on your quantum journey, Qiskit provides the support and inspiration needed to push boundaries.
|
|
We welcome all kinds of contributions, from code in pull requests to community support on [Slack](/support#qiskit), ensuring everyone can play a role in advancing quantum technology.
