Abstract

What is quantum? Something very advanced... Perhaps something to do with time travel? And definitely linked to computing somehow! Is it spooky? Is it revolutionary? Perhaps it's time to join Ant-Man in being sucked down into the Quantum Realm? This workshop will be dedicated to exploring how the public currently perceives and relates to quantum. We will discuss findings from current research on quantum education & outreach and share our own experiences in communicating about quantum outside of our research bubble. We will ask the question of "What does it mean to develop quantum for the public good?". Finally, we will make the case for why the public should be involved in answering that question: By playing an active role in determining the societal values that guide technical research. In contrast to AI ethics, that process can happen now, while we are in the early phases of realizing quantum technology.
