Quantum technologies are expected to profoundly impact society – both to its benefit and its detriment. The development of these technologies must be carefully and thoughtfully conceived, cultivated and distributed.

QDNL is actively forging alliances among businesses, governments, societal organizations, scientists, and citizens to research and co-create ethical, legal, and societal standards for quantum’s development. A portion of our budget is allocated to programs that will help guide the development of quantum technologies and their applications to benefit society, boost social readiness levels, democratize its potential and mitigate potential harm.
