As governments rush to regulate quantum computing citing security fears, experts warn that sweeping export controls and premature restrictions risk crippling global R&D collaboration, disrupting fragile supply chains, and stifling innovation before the technology matures. The path forward lies in targeted governance, international standards, and fostering open research ecosystems rather than reactive legislation.

California's state senate has approved SB 53, a revised AI safety bill targeting companies with over $500 million in revenue, mandating safety reports, incident disclosures, and whistleblower protections. Endorsed by Anthropic and designed to avoid burdening startups, this legislation could become law and set a precedent for state-level checks on AI power. Amid stalled federal regulation, SB 53 represents a strategic pivot in the battle to govern rapidly advancing AI technologies.
