LML member, Prof. Mateo Aboy, has been appointed as a Fellow at Stanford University’s new Centre for Responsible Quantum Technology.
Part of the Stanford Program in Law, Science & Technology, the Stanford Center for Responsible Quantum Technology is a first. It aims to bring together the quantum community in multidisciplinary settings. The overarching goal is to investigate how society should maximise benefits and mitigate risks of an new generation of applied quantum technologies in computation, sensing, simulation, cryptography, communication, materials and devices, and quantum-classical hybrid approaches.
The Director of the Stanford Centre , Director Mauritz Kop, stated:
“what we want is for future generations to become quantum literate so they understand what is being discussed and develop quantum intuition, as part of a skilled, local quantum workforce. We think we can achieve that through science and art.”
As a Fellow of the Center, LML’s Mateo Aboy will curate projects such as focusing on the law and policy aspects accompanying quantum technology, including global governance and smart technology regulation. One of the centre’s current projects, the Congressional Quantum Bootcamp slated for 2024, aims to foster quantum literacy and awareness for members of Congress, who soon will be grappling with how to regulate the emerging technologies.
