  • Negotiating a Quantum Computation Network: Mechanics, Machines, Mindsets
    Negotiating a Quantum Computation Network: Mechanics, Machines, Mindsets by Derek Noon A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Communication Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2016, Derek Noon Abstract This dissertation describes the origins, development, and distribution of quantum computing from a socio-technical perspective. It depicts quantum computing as a result of the negotiations of heterogeneous actors using the concepts of ANT and socio-technical analyses of computing and infrastructure more generally. It draws on two years of participant observation and interviews with the hardware and software companies that developed, sold, and distributed both machines and a mindset for a new approach to computing: adiabatic quantum computation (AQC). It illustrates how a novel form of computation and software writing was developed by challenging and recoding the usual distinctions between digital and analogue computing, and discusses how the myriad controversies and failures attending quantum computing were resolved provisionally through a series of human and non-human negotiations. These negotiations disrupted, scrambled, and reconstituted what we usually understand as hardware, software, and mindset, and permitted a ‗disruptive‘ technology to gain common acceptance in several high profile scientific, governmental, and financial institutions. It is the relationalities established across these diverse processes that constitute quantum computing, and consequences of this account of computation are considered in the context of digital media theory, industrial histories of computing, and socio-technical theories of technological innovation. Noon ii Acknowledgements Many sources of support helped me through the PhD program. I‘m grateful to Mitacs for its financial support of this research, and for providing me such good STEM peers/research subjects.

  • Hootsuite's Fifth Annual Report on the Latest Global Trends in Social Media
    SOCIAL TRENDS Hootsuite’s fifth annual report on the latest global trends in social media To say any of us saw 2020 coming would be a lie. A global pandemic, economic collapse, unignorable calls for racial equality, and an ongoing climate crisis all made for a tough, dark year. But when there is darkness, there is light. There is resiliency, innovation, and creativity—and there’s always a path back to growth. In this year’s report, you’ll find big ideas and quick wins. New solutions to old problems. And real stories from leading brands around the world. All backed by insights from the brightest minds in marketing and data from our biggest survey yet. I hope it helps you find your way forward.
