<sarcasm>Oh No! His last name is Hussein, He's Muslim and he understands Quantum Mechanics! He must be a terrorist and we cannot trust him to have access to knowledge about Quantum Physics! </sarcasm>
On a very real note, this is an issue with nuclear energy programs and diplomacy.
Nuclear non proliferation treaties and efforts rightfully seek to limit the number and eventually completely disarm all nuclear weapons in the world.
At the same time, nuclear fusion technology is the universe's most common, natural method of energy creation. Indeed even solar energy is just capturing the energy of nuclear fusion happening in our sun.
If we allow energy research in our own countries we can't ban it elsewhere. That's hypocritical.
That being said, the case against it is that even micronuclear fusion reactor research could ultimately create micro-stars. However even micro stars would be objects of massive gravity -- that gravity is used in space leading to higher collisions, friction and heat buildup, eventually reaching the millions of degrees required for fusion.
In film Doc Ock in the Tobey Macguire Spiderman Movies represented this pursuit, and Spiderman ultimately had to stop it.
In reality, electromagnetic fields are being pursued as ways to perhaps have nano reactors safely shielded and rein in unweildly plasma...
Entanglement is much safer but also immensely powerful once fully understood, and may change the course of humanity much like nuclear physics did.
