Law and policy for the quantum age

---

This book is the result of a chance meeting between the authorsm in the summer of 2019 on a 12-hour international flight. This was not a case of quantum superposition, but it certainly demonstrates the power of chance.The Oxford English Dictionary defines quantum as “A discrete quantity of electromagnetic energy proportional in magnitude to the frequency of the radiation it represents.”1 In this book, we use the term quantum technologies to mean tools that use those discrete quantities of energy to provide some utility. Classical technologies are indeed made of those discrete quanta of energy, but when we use a hammer, or fly in an airplane, or even use a computer, we do not concern ourselves with quanta-level energy or effects. Quantum technologies focus on the smallest quanta of energy and their effects, and this focus is what makes quantum technologies so surprising: mastering the physics of the small, has surprisingly large implications. We classify quantum technologies into quantum sensing and metrology, computing, and communications.
