Summary

We are entering into a brave new world of quantum technologies. This quantum impetus on society will also cause a system reformation in the legal arena. Here, we dissect and analyze what this quantum leap of the legal sphere contains. Furthermore, we present a pragmatic road map to find a path through an uncharted legal design landscape toward a prosperous quantum future.
