论文摘要
正确执行量子道德将需要对技术和试图建立这些技术的组织进行详细的社会政治分析。在本文中，我通过分析量子行业的美国军事利益相关者的公共言论为这项任务做出了贡献。我看着空军研究实验室参与2020 Quantum 2商业会议，在那里他们是主要赞助商。批判的主题分析表明，重点是制定战争的暴力，维持空军为美国人提供安全未来的叙述，并将量子技术与战争美学结合。我用反帝国主义理论将其与之相关，认为这种修辞和对量子臂的渴望与现有暴力力量结构的复制相一致。关于这一军事参与量子空间的例子的见解应有助于确定新生的临界量子伦理干预措施。
Doing quantum ethics properly will require detailed socio-political analysis of the technologies and the organizations trying to build them. In this paper, I contribute to this task by analysing the public rhetoric of American military stakeholders in the quantum industry. I look at Air Force Research Laboratory involvement in the 2020 Quantum 2 Business conference, where they were the main sponsor. A critical thematic analysis shows a focus on enacting the violence of war, maintaining narratives that the Air Force provides a secure future for Americans, and marrying quantum technology with the aesthetics of war. I contextualize this with anti-imperialist theory, arguing that this rhetoric and the desire for quantum arms aligns with the reproduction of existing violent power structures. Insights about this example of military involvement in quantum spaces should help orient nascent critical quantum ethics interventions.
