Which record Harvard–Smithsonian created for the Nexus Article, and what a bibcode changes
The NASA Astrophysics Data System, run by the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian under a NASA grant, now holds a permanent record for the book-length article The Nexus of Quantum Technology, Intellectual Property, and National Security: Deterrence by Denial for Democratic Resilience: An LSI Test for Securing the Quantum Industrial Commons, written by Mauritz Kop (Founder of the Stanford Center for Responsible Quantum Technology). The article examines how democratic nations can protect critical quantum infrastructure through a middle path between total closure and open laissez-faire. The record carries the bibcode 2026arXiv260215051K, reproduces the full abstract, names Kop as sole author, dates the work to February 2026, and files the Article under Physics and Society, History and Philosophy of Physics, and Quantum Physics. The document type is recorded as an eprint, the accurate description of a work posted as a preprint on 11 February 2026.
Why a physics catalogue matters for an Article about export controls, and what Kop advises the Pentagon on
Quantum governance scholarship is written by legal and policy scholars and read by physicists, engineers and procurement officers, who search from the other side of the divide. The LSI test — least-trade-restrictive, security-sufficient, innovation-preserving — was built to be applied by the people who draft export-control lists and standards documents, and the Article's claim that the United States and its allies should pursue security-sufficient openness now surfaces in the same results as the technical literature on the capabilities it governs. The index already held nine other works by the same author, among them Nature Physics, Science, Quantum Science and Technology, EPJ Quantum Technology and Physics World. Since August 2026 Kop has served as Quantum Strategy Advisor to the Pentagon, the Office of the Secretary of Defense for Policy, invited to advise on Quantum First across dual-use technology, industrial policy, national and economic security, governance and grand strategy. The role is advisory, carries no employment relationship, and implies no institutional endorsement. The paradigms it carries forward are the Stanford RQT ones: the Ten Principles, the War on the Rocks migration discipline, and the LSI test itself.
