What comes to mind when you hear the term ‘quantum computing’?

A caped crusader defending the multiverse?

Or maybe just a really expensive calculator that no one actually understands?

If you're not up to scratch on all things quantum - you’d better listen to this episode…

Our guest is Rebecca Keating, Barrister at 4 Pump Court and co-author of The Law of Quantum Computing. She unpacks what quantum computing really means for lawyers and regulators.

We’ve already had to deal with AI, but with quantum around the corner - and even ‘quantum AI’(?!), there’s no time to slow down.

We break down the basics in this episode - simplifying the tech - before diving into the real legal implications, from encryption risks to regulatory frameworks, ESG angles, and IP considerations.

Consider this episode is your legal heads-up for all things quantum - before it’s too late.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• What every lawyer needs to know about quantum computing.
• What is a qubit and why does it matter to legal teams?
• Which industries will quantum computing transform first?
• How quantum could make today’s encryption obsolete.
• The legal blind spots in quantum-related contracts.
• Regulate first vs. regulate after go-to-market.
• ESG and IP considerations around quantum computing.
• And more…
