Quantum and Economic Security: From Open Science to Controlled Technology
Conditional openness, strategic controls and the remaking of the quantum economy
Report overview
Quantum technologies are moving from a predominantly open scientific environment into a regime of conditional openness. The issue is not the end of international research collaboration, but the growing need to distinguish between basic science, commercially valuable know-how, dual-use technology and strategic capability. Export controls, investment screening, outbound-investment rules, research-security requirements and procurement conditions are beginning to shape who can finance, acquire, access, develop and deploy quantum systems. This shift matters because quantum value does not reside only in finished machines. It also moves through software, technical assistance, laboratory access, tacit expertise, cloud platforms, joint ventures, licensing agreements, doctoral training, visiting researchers and supply-chain relationships.

Research method
Source-led professional intelligence
QFM reports are built from primary and high-authority material including company filings, earnings releases, investor documentation, public-funding decisions, government strategies, regulatory initiatives, technical roadmaps, research institutions and standard-setting bodies. The purpose is to distinguish verified industrial progress from promotional narrative and to connect technology, capital and policy in one analytical frame.
