“Shaping Governance, Security and Innovation in the Quantum Era”

The Quantum Policy Framework Initiative (QPFI) is a multidisciplinary strategic initiative focused on developing policy, governance, legal, ethical, security, and regulatory frameworks for emerging quantum technologies including:

• Quantum Computing
• Quantum Communication
• Quantum Cryptography
• Quantum Sensors
• Quantum Artificial Intelligence
• Post-Quantum Cybersecurity

The initiative aims to bridge the gap between:

• technology,
• governance,
• national security,
• public policy,
• international cooperation,
• and capacity building.
