Quantum Computing Governance

Quantum Computing

Our quantum computing research examines the governance implications of this emerging technology, with a focus on security, environmental impact, and equitable access.

Research Focus

Quantum computing represents a paradigm shift in computational capabilities, with profound implications for cryptography, optimization problems, and simulation of physical systems. Our research focuses on three key areas:

  • Post-Quantum Cryptography: Developing governance frameworks for the transition to cryptographic systems resistant to quantum attacks.
  • Environmental Implications: Assessing the energy requirements and resource demands of quantum computing infrastructure.
  • Equitable Access: Examining how governance can ensure that quantum computing benefits are broadly shared across society.
