Centre for Quantum and Society

As a facilitator of a range of research initiatives, events, and tools, the Centre for Quantum and Society seeks to better understand the societal effects of quantum technologies and inform the broader quantum community about these impacts.

Launched in 2022, the Centre for Quantum and Society is a knowledge and co-creation center dedicated to maximizing the positive impact of quantum technologies on society.

We facilitate ground-breaking academic research into ethics, legal frameworks, and effective communication surrounding the impact of quantum technologies. 

  • We develop tools to help teams and organizations seize quantum opportunities while navigating potential challenges for their sectors, customers, and society. 

  • We engage in tailored made awareness activities with diverse stakeholders

  • We focus on foresight projects, to build upon a shared stakeholder vision that shapes governance choices to preserve our core societal values.

  • We initiate mission-driven innovation in quantum projects.


We are looking for a diverse group of stakeholders to jointly realize a positive societal impact with quantum technologies. Come join us!
