Our Quantum Team
Our interdimensional legal experts exist in a state of superposition until observed.
Pioneering the intersection of quantum mechanics, advanced technology, and legal innovation. Where superposition meets jurisprudence.
Our team specializes in the emerging field of quantum law, addressing legal challenges that arise from quantum computing, quantum cryptography, and quantum communication technologies.
Advisory insights on emerging financial products leveraging quantum probability theory. Strategic perspectives on investment vehicles with returns existing in superposition states. Thought leadership on derivative structures for simultaneous outcome scenarios.
Strategic consulting on analog information systems resilient to quantum observation effects. Advisory frameworks for mimeograph distribution networks and locked filing cabinet governance structures. Thought leadership on pre-digital knowledge architectures for quantum-resistant corporate security.
Developing ethical frameworks for quantum technologies, policy advocacy for responsible quantum development, and guidance on quantum technology's societal implications.
Explore cutting-edge perspectives on quantum law, emerging regulations, and the future of technology governance.
A draft of the European Union's proposed Quantum Act, obtained by The Quantum Insider, would create a common framework for European quantum research, engineering and industrial development, requiring member states to align national strategies with shared priorities. Participation in designated strategic projects and public procurement would generally be limited to EU-controlled companies, with an opening for qualifying international partners. The draft targets roughly 100 error-corrected logical qubits per system by 2030 or soon after, and would use public purchasing to drive post-quantum migration: procurements starting six months after the regulation takes effect would need quantum-safe solutions, or crypto-agility with a migration plan where none are suitable. Funding would depend on future EU programmes, and the draft retains unfinished provisions, so final details remain open.
The UK Financial Conduct Authority told financial firms to begin preparing for post-quantum cryptography, aligning with National Cyber Security Centre milestones: a completed migration plan by 2028, high-priority migration activities by 2031, and all systems, services and products migrated by 2035. The FCA expects firms to map where and how they use cryptography, set risk-based migration objectives, and test and validate changes, with senior managers allocating the needed time and resources. It is trialling a supervisory self-assessment tool to gauge industry readiness.
The U.S. Treasury issued a proposed rule to implement the COINS Act, enacted in the FY2026 National Defense Authorization Act. It would require notification of, and in some cases prohibit, investments by U.S. persons in covered foreign persons working on quantum information technologies, extending the existing outbound investment program to quantum computer software and the development of quantum algorithms and applications, alongside semiconductors, AI systems, supercomputing, hypersonics and newly added biotechnology. Public comments are due December 7, 2026.
The European Quantum Industry Consortium (QuIC) published a position paper, "Optimising Dual-Use Controls for European Quantum Technologies," as input to the European Commission's evaluation of the EU Dual-Use Regulation (2021/821). After quantum computers, cryogenic amplifiers and wafer probers were added to the EU dual-use control list in November 2025, QuIC warns that fragmented licensing across the 27 member states is delaying shipments and costing European firms revenue. It recommends interoperable e-licensing portals, mutual recognition of product classifications, and expanding the EU001 general export authorisation to partners such as South Korea.
Germany's interior ministry (BMI), digital ministry (BMDS) and Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) jointly published a national guideline implementing the EU roadmap on post-quantum cryptography. Aimed at government bodies, companies and critical-infrastructure operators, it confirms the EU timeline: high-risk systems must migrate to quantum-safe encryption by the end of 2030, with the overall transition largely complete by 2035. The guideline calls for clear responsibilities, binding deadlines, quantum-risk assessment in risk management, early involvement of manufacturers and supply chains, and crypto-agility so algorithms can be swapped as threats evolve.
The U.S. Department of Energy announced eight Quantum Genesis Priority Applications across chemistry, materials, subatomic physics and applied mathematics. The applications will guide research and benchmarking for scientifically useful, fault-tolerant quantum computers. These are research targets, not solved problems or a new legal requirement.
Preliminary analysis of proposed federal legislation governing quantum computing development. Strategic perspectives on anticipated security requirements, projected export controls, and speculative industry compliance frameworks expected to influence the emerging quantum landscape.
As fault-tolerant quantum computers enable brute-force exploration of molecular structures, materials science, and algorithmic solutions, obviousness questions take new shape as parallel invention or simultaneous reverse engineering becomes computationally inevitable rather than legally coincidental.
As "Years to Quantum" approaches, organizations must prepare for cryptographic transitions. We examine legal obligations, liability considerations, and best practices for quantum-safe migration.
When quantum particles are entangled across national boundaries, which laws apply? Exploring the novel legal questions posed by quantum communication networks and distributed quantum computing.
