Quantum
Quantum technologies are controlled by fast-moving parameters, and by software and technical data as much as by hardware.
Quantum technologies are controlled by parameters that change quickly, and by software and technical data as much as by hardware. A foreign researcher with access to your lab can raise the same question as a shipment.
We help quantum companies work out what is controlled, what needs an authorisation, and how to organise the company around it.
When we are called
- Your software or technical data goes abroad, with no shipment to point at
- A hardware parameter, such as a qubit count or an error rate, sits near a list threshold
- You hire or host foreign nationals who will work with controlled technology
- An authority asks for a document before it will decide
Work we have done
- Support on an authorisation request for quantum control software with the French dual-use authority, including the document it asks for.
- An export-control process for hiring and staff access at a quantum-technology scale-up.
