Law and Policy for the Quantum Age by Chris Jay Hoofnagle
It is often said that quantum technologies are poised to change the world as we know it, but cutting through the hype, what will quantum technologies actually mean for countries and their citizens? In Law and Policy for the Quantum Age, Chris Jay Hoofnagle and Simson L. Garfinkel explain the genesis of quantum information science (QIS) and the resulting quantum technologies that are most exciting: quantum sensing, computing, and communication. This groundbreaking, timely text explains how quantum technologies work, how countries will likely employ QIS for future national defense and what the legal landscapes will be for these nations, and how companies might (or might not) profit from the technology. Hoofnagle and Garfinkel argue that the consequences of QIS are so profound that we must begin planning for them today. This title is available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.'Revolutionary technology usually bursts on the scene and races ahead of public comprehension and policy, which struggle to keep up. Quantum computing is different - we have time to think, because many of the theoretical promises are understood but most are still years away. Hoofnagle and Garfinkel provide a valuable contribution to that opportunity to think, by giving the reader a comprehensive look at both the technology and its policy opportunities and threats.' Bill Silver
'Law and Policy for the Quantum Age is required reading for those who really want to understand why quantum technologies are likely to transform our world in a very radical way. While there are many other books that explain the physics and engineering of quantum information systems, Law and Policy for the Quantum Age is the only book currently available that clearly elucidates the huge impact that these quantum devices will have on industrial and government policy, and why we need to seriously consider these implications today.' Marco Lanzagorta
'… a gracefully written and deeply informative look at the commercial and policy prospects of quantum computing …' Stewart Baker, former Assistant Secretary for Policy, United States Department of Homeland Security; former General Counsel, National Security Agency
'With their book, Hoofnagle and Garfinkel deliver an exceptional performance by making the material accessible, offering a realistic view of what is (and what is not) coming. In doing so, they identify at exactly the right time the policy questions that politics and society must now start thinking about.' Axel Arnbak, Het Financieele Dagblad
'Recommended.' M. C. Ogilvie, Choice

Garfinkel is also a journalist who has published over a thousand articles on science, technology, and policy. He is the recipient of various journalism honors, including the Jesse H.
For his Machine Shop series in CSO magazine, Neal won the National Business Journalism Award. He now contributes to Technology Review Magazine as well as their website. Vineyard, which supplied Internet connection on Martha's Vineyard from 1995 until 2005, and Sandstorm Enterprises, an early developer of commercial computer forensic tools, are two of Garfinkel's five businesses. Garfinkel graduated from MIT with three Bachelor of Science degrees in 1987, a Master of Science in Journalism from Columbia University in 1988, and a Ph.D. from Columbia University in 1990.
In 2005, he received his bachelor's degree in computer science from MIT.
