Description
market resolves YES if any legally recognized member of the Group of Seven (G7) announces new legislation specifically concerning quantum technologies, quantum computing, or quantum information policy within the next 2 months from the market creation date.
“Announce new quantum legislation” means:
• A formal government announcement, press release, or official legislative text published by the government or parliament of a G7 country that introduces, proposes, or enacts new laws/regulations addressing quantum technologies, quantum computing, quantum research policy, or related regulatory frameworks.
• Includes announcements of bills, acts, or executive regulations intended to take effect as law (not informal strategy papers or private sector initiatives).
1,000I don't know either way, but it seems totally nuts if they do. Quantum computing doesn't need regulating yet, in any way that's not already covered by other laws. For example tripping over wires in the office, or touching dangerously cold parts of a quantum computer.

Oh no, look at that 👀, it could be doing something that needs regulating. 🙃🤪🥳
When it starts running substantial exponential time algorithms (not experimental/toy problems) at a substantially lesser time complexity, then regulation may become more reasonable. But that's kind of like saying that if factories start producing matter that has negative mass then airspace regulation may need to change, yeah no shiz, but also clothing that makes you weigh almost nothing starts existing, and wormhole travel becomes practical replacing every airport, and everyone upgrades their pedal bikes to allow them to fly them to work, and everything is different now. We cannot realistically plan for "the world is unrecognisably different now" any more than anyone could plan for what a world with electronic computers would look like just before the first one was invented.
