Quantum technology regulation, Legal relations, Stakeholder governance, Adaptive oversight, International cooperation, Ethical frameworks, Technological innovation, Cybersecurity.Abstract
This study provides an in-depth examination of the regulatory landscape surrounding quantum technologies, focusing on the types of legal relations and stakeholders involved. It explores the subjects and objects of governance, rights and duties, compliance mechanisms, and the balance between oversight and innovation. The research aims to map the legal topology of this emergent field and provide insights for developing effective regulatory frameworks. The study employs a comprehensive literature review and analysis of existing regulatory approaches, highlighting the complex interplay between various actors in the quantum ecosystem and the challenges of governing exponential technologies.
