The Main Directions of Regulation of Quantum Technologies

In the article, the authors analyze the main directions of regulation of quantum technologies in Russia and in the world. The purpose of the study is to identify the current state of the regulatory legal regulation of quantum technologies in Russia and to develop basic approaches to their regulation in the short and medium term. It is concluded that the Russian Federation today occupies a leading position in the world in terms of quantum communications both from the perspective of regulation at the level of strategic planning and the development of regulatory legal regulation of relations in the field of quantum communications. At the same time, there is a clearly insufficient level of regulation of quantum computing and the use of a quantum computer. In relation to this area of quantum technologies, neither strategic and regulatory legal regulation nor theoretical approaches to possible legal regulation of these relations have yet been formed. This requires increased attention from the state and relevant actors to the need to solve this problem. Today, by analogy with the processes of legal support for the functioning of the ecosystem of quantum communications, research and preparation of approaches to regulating relations in the field of using a quantum computer and quantum computing should be launched.
