Quantum Is a Public Good: Translating quantum innovation into solutions for business and society

About this chapter

In this chapter, Lionel Martellini reflects on his academic journey from finance to quantum science and explains why translating quantum innovation into value for business and society requires treating quantum as a public good rather than a niche technical domain. The chapter is a contribution to the monograph A Portrait of Quantum Technologies in Finance, edited by Oswaldo Zapata, PhD, and published by The Quantum Finance Boardroom (2026).
