GQC at the United Nations //

The GQC’s Géraldine Haack was invited to present and discuss quantum technologies as part of a multi-stakeholder dialogue organised by The United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research (UNIDIR).

The increasing interest in quantum technologies goes well beyond purely research-oriented groups, which has motivated the UN’s Member States to look at the potential new threats emerging from quantum technologies. In particular, their potential impact on international security and disarmament efforts. Despite this increased interest, there was little discussion existing on this topic, at least among States. To further unpack this complex issue and understand the possible effects and consequences of these advancements in quantum broadly, UNIDIR’s Security and Technology Programme organised this multi-stakeholder dialogue on quantum.
