Starting in 2011, Maya's entire ui back-end was converted to Qt. You still use the same Maya commands to author UI's, but behind the scenes Qt is appearing on your screen.
Starting in 2017, Maya migrated to Qt5 / PyQt5 / PySide2, which broke a bunch of backwards compatibility. See notes here on this.
This is not to be confused with PyQt or PySide, which are Python (not Maya) implementations of Qt. You can also get PyQt& PySide working in Maya, if you jump through some hoops, if using versions before 2014: Starting in 2014, PySide started shipping with Maya: No more needing to compile PyQt.
