Objective: to formulate the bases for quantum law as the law of the future, based on the study of quantum phenomena and features of quantum technologies determining the risks and challenges associated with the emergence of these technologies, as well as the analysis of legal regulation of quantum technologies in the Russian Federation and abroad.

Methods

Methods: to carry out this research, the authors applied a complex of general scientific methods of systemic analysis and specific methods of engineering and legal sciences. The use of comparative-legal method allowed revealing the main directions of developing legal regulation of quantum technologies in the Russian and foreign law orders based on the analysis of their international and national regulation. The method of legal modeling allowed forming a concept of quantum law, revealing the main vectors of its development and the complex of its ethical-legal principles.

Results

Results: the features and properties of quantum technologies were revealed which can change the development of law with the advent of these technologies; the main risks and challenges were identified which are associated with the development of quantum technologies; the features of quantum technologies regulation in some foreign countries were specified; the trends of developing the quantum technologies regulation in the Russian Federation were identified; the conceptual bases of quantum law were formulated, as well as the vectors of its development.

Scientific novelty

Scientific novelty: for the first time in the legal science, a complex analysis of the current national (both Russian and foreign) regulation of quantum technologies was carried out, based on which an attempt was made to substantiate the need to form quantum law and to outline the main vectors of its development.

Practical significance

Practical significance: the research results lay the foundation for forming the concept of quantum law; in this regard, the authors’ conclusions and proposals for improving the current regulation of quantum technologies can be used in law-making and law enforcement in this sphere, and may lay the bases for further research in the sphere of quantum technologies.

Цель

Цель: на основании изучения свойств квантовых явлений и особенностей квантовых технологий, обусловивших риски и вызовы, связанные с появлением данных технологий, а также анализа правового регулирования квантовых технологий в Российской Федерации и зарубежных странах формирование основ квантового права как права будущего.

Методы

Методы: для проведения данного исследования применялся комплекс общенаучных методов системного анализа, а также предметных методов технических и юридических наук. Применение сравнительно-правового метода дало возможность выявить основные направления развития регулирования квантовых технологий в российских и зарубежных правопорядках. Метод правового моделирования позволил сформировать концепт квантового права, выявить основные векторы его развития и комплекс его этико-правовых принципов.

Результаты

Результаты: выявлены особенности и свойства квантовых технологий, которые способны изменить развитие права с приходом таких технологий; определены основные риски и вызовы, связанные с развитием квантовых технологий; выявлены особенности регулирования квантовых технологий в отдельных зарубежных странах; определены тенденции развития регулирования квантовых технологий в Российской Федерации; сформированы концептуальные основы квантового права, а также векторы его развития.

Научная новизна

Научная новизна: впервые в юридической науке проводится комплексный анализ существующего национального (как российского, так и зарубежного) регулирования квантовых технологий, на основании которого предпринимается попытка обоснования необходимости формирования квантового права и очерчиваются основные векторы его развития.

Практическая значимость

Практическая значимость: результаты проведенного исследования закладывают основу для формирования концепта квантового права, в связи с чем выводы, к которым пришли авторы, и выдвинутые ими предложения по совершенствованию существующего регулирования квантовых технологий могут быть использованы для правотворчества и правоприменения в данной сфере, а также способны заложить основы дальнейших исследований в области квантовых технологий.
