Bring on the Qubits: How the Quantum Computing Arms Race Impacts Legal Frameworks

Both the hardware and algorithms have a long way to go until they grace our environments. Quantum computing is not an unattainable innovation, though—it is real enough and, therefore, reachable enough to merit consideration of implications now. Since its beginnings as a theory developed independently by American physicists Paul Benioff and Richard Feynman and Russian mathematician Yuri Manin, quantum computing has been in a perpetual state of scientific discovery. It sometimes reaches proof of principle on an approach but has never overcome the engineering challenges to move forward. That is, until now. Welcome to Klaus Schwab’s fourth industrial revolution, where quantum computing is one of the emerging technologies that will fundamentally alter the way we live, work, and relate to one another.
