When the European Commission published its Quantum Strategy in July 2025, it made a choice that deserves more attention than it has received. The forthcoming EU Quantum Act – expected as a legislative proposal in 2026 – will not follow the regulatory logic of the AI Act. It will follow the logic of the Chips…

The European Commission is expected to table its Quantum Act proposal this quarter. Adoption is targeted for Q3 2027. That gap – between proposal and law – is where the real regulatory work happens: trilogue, amendments, political compromise, and all the provisions that get quietly narrowed before the final text lands in the Official Journal.…

Quantum computing is usually framed as a future problem. Regulate it once it’s real, scalable, deployed. That framing is wrong. Quantum technologies are already moving into early applications. The question is no longer whether we regulate them – but whether we do it in time to matter. If regulation arrives after the architecture is locked…

Quantum computing is usually framed as a speed problem. Faster research. More efficient courts. Better case management. That framing is too narrow. The deeper shift isn’t about speed. It’s about what quantum technologies might reveal about legal decision-making itself. Law as reasoning – or pattern recognition? Law presents itself as a system of reasoning. Judges…

I’ll be honest: when I first encountered the word “qubit,” I treated it the way I treat most technical jargon – as something I’d understand eventually. Then I started reading. And I realised that if you’re working in AI law and you don’t understand what a qubit actually is, you’re missing the foundation of everything…

In 2018, I started writing my doctoral thesis on artificial intelligence and law. At the time, most people in the legal world thought AI was either science fiction or someone else’s problem. I spent years watching businesses underestimate it – until the new EU AI Act, and a wave of regulatory pressure made it impossible…
