Quantum Computing and Society
summary
Current framing pits a physics-and-computer-science core against society as an outside block, a profitable narrative that attracts investment by promising mysterious breakthroughs and urgent threats (e.g. post-quantum crypto vulnerabilities). Outreach examples include IBM’s public cloud access and Microsoft’s transparent lab corner, while governance shifts toward deliberation: responsible research and innovation, ethics-by-design, World Economic Forum principles and an ELSA-style process where Quantum Delta invites firms to co-create use-case assessments with stakeholders. The claim: society is unlikely to “burn it down” if development becomes collaborative.
