  • 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.

OUR VISION Within a generation, Canada will be a country of thriving, sustainable communities rooted in science, innovation and a deep connection to nature. 1 CHAIR & CEO REPORT It is an honour to present to you Science World’s 2019/2020 Annual Report! In my third year as Chair, we celebrated and achieved many remarkable feats. In 2019, we celebrated 30 Years of Wonder under our dome and around the province, having served over 18 million people over the past three decades. Several foundational members of Science World, who were instrumental in creating this organization and leading us to the dome in the first place, re-engaged with us by sharing their stories and bringing awareness to the inspiring history of this unique charitable organization. These reminders of how important Science World is to the story of Vancouver and BC peaked in September when a CBC poll, with over 25,000 votes, declared our geodesic dome to be Vancouver’s Most Iconic Building. People shared memories of entering the dome and being ignited with a sense of wonder. We are proud of what Science World means to the people of this province, and we thank you for helping shape who we are and how we serve learners of all ages.

But it’s not a panacea, and huge hurdles lie in bringing it to mainstream adoption. However, it is increasingly in the public eye, with big players looking to educate the next generation, and startups receiving speculative funding. Now is the time to experiment and to keep an open mind, but don’t expect miracles anytime soon. ©2020 451 Research, LLC | WWW.451RESEARCH.COM REPORT EXCERPT About the Authors Dr. Owen Rogers Research Vice President, Cloud Transformation As Research Vice President, Owen Rogers leads the firm’s Digital Economics Unit, which serves to help customers understand the economics behind digital and cloud technologies so they can make informed choices when costing and pricing their own products and services, as well as those from their vendors, suppliers and competitors.
