Abstract

The international quantum communication networks develop; governance
and legal jurisdiction remain unclear due to jurisdictional gaps in existing legal
frameworks. Analysis of applicable accords, state practice, court judgments and
domestic law related to digital infrastructure reveals minimal current
governance explicitly addressing jurisdiction over global quantum systems.
Results indicate specialized multilateral treaties are necessary to establish
acceptable jurisdiction given quantum computing's novel abilities allowing
exponentially scalable computing, cryptographically secured data transfers and
precision metrology. Centralized supranational authority and distributed
governance models reflect policy trade-offs for advancing global networks. Like
historical technologies such as aviation and the Internet requiring years of legal
development to mature, progressing quantum networks need focused creation of
an internationally harmonized legal framework to balance security, sovereignty
and innovation across a landscape holding tremendous transformative potential.
