Summary
Quantum technologies are promising to become one of the most impactful emerging technologies of the century. As governments and the private sector race to achieve quantum supremacy, it is crucial for the legal community to understand and analyze how these technologies will influence societies and shape consumer experiences. This essay offers an overview of the potential impacts of Quantum Information Science and Technology (QIST) on privacy as we know it today. It reviews quantum computers, quantum internet, quantum encryptions, and quantum sensing to offer a brief introduction of these fields for the legal community. This essay then proposes a novel analytical framework for future scholarly work on QIST privacy impacts. It concludes that QIST could have primary and secondary effects on privacy that would both improve and undermine privacy. Understanding the challenges that privacy scholars may soon face and having a robust framework to work with is a crucial step for future research in this emerging area of study.
