Quantum What? A Boundary Object Lens for Understanding Quantum Computing

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference abstract in proceedingsResearchpeer-review

Abstract

Quantum computing, a novel technology that promises to revolutionize computation, has become a topic of interest for multiple communities regarding the opportunities and challenges it might pose. Nevertheless, as it’s still under development, it’s hard to measure its potential impact on businesses and society. Making informed decisions to collaborate, understand, and develop this technology becomes challenging. This extended abstract explores the perceptions of how different communities understand quantum computing, following a case study approach adopting a boundary object perspective to make sense of the various communities' agreements, disagreements, and tensions. The data collection process is ongoing, and participation in the TREO Forum is expected to help enhance the richness and robustness of the research to make it a potentially publishable paper.
