Abstract

Quantum technology is predicted to have a significant impact on society once it matures. This study (n = 637 adults representative of the Dutch population) examined the effect of different frames on engagement - specifically, information seeking, internal efficacy, general interest and perceived knowledge - with quantum technology. The different frames were: enigmatic, explaining quantum physics, benefit, risk and balanced. Results indicated that framing quantum as enigmatic does not affect engagement, while explaining quantum physics positively influences general interest. Furthermore, emphasising a benefit of quantum technology increases participants' internal efficacy, whereas highlighting both a benefit and a risk of quantum technology decreases perceived knowledge. Based on these findings, we offer practical advice for science communicators in the field and suggest further research., Comment: 19 pages

2. Explaining Grover's algorithm with a colony of ants: a pedagogical model for making quantum technology comprehensible

Abstract

The rapid growth of quantum technologies requires an increasing number of physicists, computer scientists, and engineers who can work on these technologies. For educating these professionals, quantum mechanics should stop being perceived as incomprehensible. In this paper we contribute to this change by presenting a pedagogical model for explaining Grover's search algorithm, a prominent quantum algorithm. This model visualizes the three main steps of Grover's algorithm and, in addition to explaining the algorithm itself, introduces three key principles of quantum mechanics: superposition, interference, and state collapse at measurement. The pedagogical model, visualized by a video, is called the "Ant Colony Maze model". It represents the search problems as finding the exit of a maze, and visualizes Grover's search algorithm as a strategy by which a colony of ants finds that exit., Comment: 18 pages, 4 figures

Abstract

As quantum technologies (QT) advance, their potential impact on and relation with society has been developing into an important issue for exploration. In this paper, we investigate the topic of democratization in the context of QT, particularly quantum computing. The paper contains three main sections. First, we briefly introduce different theories of democracy (participatory, representative, and deliberative) and how the concept of democratization can be formulated with respect to whether democracy is taken as an intrinsic or instrumental value. Second, we give an overview of how the concept of democratization is used in the QT field. Democratization is mainly adopted by companies working on quantum computing and used in a very narrow understanding of the concept. Third, we explore various narratives and counter-narratives concerning democratization in QT. Finally, we explore the general efforts of democratization in QT such as different forms of access, formation of grassroot communities and special interest groups, the emerging culture of manifesto writing, and how these can be located within the different theories of democracy. In conclusion, we argue that although the ongoing efforts in the democratization of QT are necessary steps towards the democratization of this set of emerging technologies, they should not be accepted as sufficient to argue that QT is a democratized field. We argue that more reflexivity and responsiveness regarding the narratives and actions adopted by the actors in the QT field, and making the underlying assumptions of ongoing efforts on democratization of QT explicit, can result in a better technology for society., Comment: 27 pages, 4 tables

Subjects

Abstract

Due primarily to technological advances over the last decade, quantum research has become a key priority area for science and technology policy all over the world. With this manifesto we wish to prevent quantum technology from running into fiascos of implementation at the interface of science and society. To this end, we identify key stumbling blocks and propose recommendations., Comment: forthcoming in 'NanoEthics: Studies of New And Emerging Technologies'

47. TechEthos D3.2: Tools to Develop and Advance Scenarios

Author

Umbrello, Steven, Vermaas, Pieter, Paca, Cristina, Alliaj, Greta, Whittington-Davis, Andrew, Jouvenot, Fabrice, Bernstein, Michael J., Mehnert, Wenzel, and Buchinger, Eva

Abstract

This report describes the process of the co-creation of the TechEthos game that was developed to enhance the TechEthos scenarios (Task 3.2) during dedicated workshops in (Task 3.3). It also presents the results of employing the Triadic Game Design methodology as an approach to working with expert game design stakeholders across the dedicated workshops in order to resolve emerging value tensions in game design. The game resulting from the co-creation activities with expert stakeholders will be used in conjunction with the TechEthos scenarios (Task 3.2) and both expert and citizen participants (Task 3.4 and 3.5) to surface ethical issues and concerns in those scenarios and, consequently, helping to enhance the scenarios in order to be more comprehensive in their breadth. This report was co-developed in parallel with D3.1 (Evolution of advanced TechEthos scenarios) to advance the TechEthos basic scenarios via the design and deployment of a co-designed serious game., {"references":["Buchinger E., Kinegger M., Zahradnik G., Bernstein M.J., Porcari A., Gonzalez G., Pimponi D., Buceti G.

Abstract

Emergent technologies, like quantum technology, gives an incentive to involve society in an early stage of the technology’s development. However, the current popular communication about quantum science and technology might hinder societal actors to become involved. In this study, we aim to study three aspects present in popular communication about quantum science and technology that might affect engagement: 1.) the enigmatic frame, 2.) explaining underlying quantum concepts, and 3.) the benefit and risk frame.
