Quantum Technology and the Law

Quantum technologies are poised to transform our lives. Within a decade, we could have quantum sensors capable of detecting disease at the very earliest stages; quantum networks that offer provably secure voting, financial transfers, and medical records; and eventually quantum computers that could, in just minutes, perform analyses that would take today’s supercomputers millions of years. But as the field edges closer to real-world application, critical regulatory questions are emerging — including how leaders should balance the field’s enormous problem-solving potential against risks posed by bad actors.

Join world-leading experts on law and quantum technology as they explore issues across a range of legal areas, examine critical challenges, and discuss how law and science can work together to develop a clear framework for balancing conflicting priorities.
