Quantum Technology as an Object of Law

Abstract

One of the strategic directions for the development of end-to-end information innovations identified quantum technologies that provide in the future global technological competitiveness of the State. However, in the Russian Federation the legal provision of the quantum technology sphere is fragmentary, non-systematic, including, the legal essence of quantum technology is not defined, there is no definite apparatus, are not properly fixed types of quantum technologies, etc. Therefore, the study of legal features of quantum technology with the allocation of species components, the identification of negative factors that hinder the development of the sphere of quantum technologies and the proposal of definition of «quantum technology» and its individual species as legal categories seems to be a promising direction. The author’s definition of quantum technology as a set of processes, tools, methods of data collection, processing and transmission using quantum phenomena (quantum effects) is proposed as the main conclusions the main difference between quantum technologies and other information technologies developed on the basis of mathematical platforms and algorithms, in their physical (natural) essence, based on quantum effects (quantum phenomena).
