Dutch Research Agenda

NWA - The societal impact of quantum technology

This thematic programme of the Dutch Research Agenda (NWA) is aimed at the ethical, legal and societal aspects of the influences that quantum technology will have on our society.

New techniques such as quantum computing and quantum simulation (calculation), quantum sensing (measurement) and quantum communication (internet) are part of the second wave of quantum technology. Experts expect that quantum technology will have a great impact on our society. It is difficult to predict what the positive and negative changes will be or when these will occur. This development comes with the responsibility to think about these aspects in good time.
