Quantum Computing and the Law

We are continuing our quantum workforce development mission by offering this brown bag lunch workshop on Quantum Computing and the Law. 

Quantum computing aims to provide tools that leverage the principles of quantum science to solve complex problems that are difficult – even intractable – using conventional digital computers. Quantum computers promise revolutionary advancements in medicine, materials science, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, encryption, and financial risk analysis. By using qubits as a basic unit of information storage, quantum machines can explore vast solution spaces efficiently, enabling simulations and optimizations for complex global challenges, including climate modeling, supply chain logistics, drug discovery and optimal energy efficiency. These capabilities position quantum computing as a transformative technology for the next era of innovation.

 

At the same time, quantum computing – like many disruptive technologies of the past and present – can be expected to impact both the quality of life and the laws that provide guardrails for society’s adoption of new tools and techniques. The purpose of talk is to explore some of the ways that the advent of quantum computing may affect, and be affected by, the law.
 

The event will be divided in two parts:

Attendees are welcome to only attend the part that interests them, or to attend the whole event. 

12 PM - Quantum 101

In the first hour, Dr. Carle will present the basic ideas of that support the development of commercial-ready quantum computing technologies.
1 PM - Quantum & the Law
In the second hour, Dr. Myers will examine areas of legal practice that may be affected by the availability of quantum processors to users in the commercial, academic, government and private sectors.

This event can count as 2 CLE credits via the Connecticut Bar Association for CT attorneys.
