Export controls on quantum technologies have expanded from targeted entity listings to coordinated plurilateral frameworks. The Forum tracks every restriction, every Entity List update, and every instance of allied coordination or unilateral action — and assesses their practical impact on research, commerce, and supply chains.
The export control environment for quantum technologies is evolving faster than most affected organisations can track. The Wassenaar Arrangement’s limitations have driven a shift toward smaller-group coordination among allied nations, while individual countries continue to act unilaterally where they see strategic urgency. The result is a patchwork of overlapping, occasionally contradictory restrictions that companies operating across borders must manage simultaneously.
Coverage includes US Entity List and Commerce Department actions, EU dual-use regulation updates, plurilateral export control coordination among allied nations, Wassenaar Arrangement quantum-related proposals, individual country unilateral actions, sanctions affecting quantum supply chains, and the enforcement posture that determines whether controls on paper translate to controls in practice.
