Call for papers on Quantum Technology and Law
The Leiden Law School (departments of Private Law and eLaw) invites you to contribute a chapter in a book on Quantum Technology and Law. The book will consist of contributions based on work presented during the 2026 Quantum & Law conference in Leiden and your contribution as a leading expert in this area.
We invite contributions focusing on technological, legal, ethical, or social issues of the development and use of quantum technology. Topics are not limited to those mentioned in the call for papers. We particularly welcome contributions on best practices in different countries and contributions that offer multidisciplinary perspectives. This may concern ethical, legal, and societal issues of use cases of quantum technologies, best practices in regulating quantum technology, any assessment frameworks for developments in quantum technology, or other relevant perspectives. See this document for the official call for papers.
All chapters will be peer-reviewed by our program committee and other independent reviewers (where necessary) and will be published in an edited volume. Previously published peer-reviewed papers will also be considered, provided the author or authors are granted a license from the publisher, and the publication information is noted in the contribution.
For each contribution, authors must provide an abstract of 150-250 words and five keywords. Each contribution should contain about 8,000-10,000 words, including references. Longer papers may be allowed upon request. All submissions (both abstracts and full papers) must be in Word (*.doc or *.docx format). All photos, tables, and figures must be in .jpg format. Papers must be submitted in the correct template, according to the author guidelines. Only contributions in (UK) English are accepted.
Send submissions to: prof. dr. Bart Custers (b.h.m.custers@law.leidenuniv.nl) and prof. dr. Vanessa Mak (v.mak@law.leidenuniv.nl). Any further questions can be sent to these email addresses.
