Quantum computing has the potential to revolutionize the employment of technology. Quantum computers are no longer far away in the future - the new era has already begun! We have possibly achieved quantum advantage recently and the most interesting applications are around the corner.
Foreshadowing the quantum wake-up on the legal arena, this course covers a novel approach on quantum computing to law. The aim is to give a general overview of the quantum technology within the framework of law, economics, and society.
The focus will be on commercial applications employing quantum computing, such as pharmaceuticals, materials discovery, banking and finance, intellectual property rights, advanced manufacturing, and contracting. We will further discuss the application to climate change (ESG strategies), security, and defense, as well as contracting and quantum natural language processing within legal design.
It is intended to understand the quantum impact on the application and practice of law and the working of societies - both on the national and international level. Consequently, quantum progress brings up several open legal and ethical questions that call for discussion.
Scientific Framework:
The theory and substance part will involve reading and discussing scholarship from legal and economic science on quantum computing. Further, legal design framework of applications and implications of quantum computing to law, economics and society will be analyzed.
We will cover, among others, concepts of:
1. Quantum Computing in a Nutshell: From Bits to Qubits
2. Applications and Implications of Quantum Computing to Law, Economics and Society
A. Pharmaceuticals Discoveries
B. IPR and Materials Discovery Process
C. Banking and Finance
D. Cybersecurity and Quantum-Safe Encryption
E. Security and Defense
F. Advanced Manufacturing
G. Climate Change
II. Quantum Computing in the Legal Design Framework
• You will acquire knowledge of general terminology and principles of quantum computing.
• During the lessons, you will learn how quantum computing can improve business operations and what effects we expect to see in different business sectors.
• You will learn how quantum is anticipated to affect the legal arena and what anticipatory measures can be taken.
