论文摘要
量子信息科学（QIS）是一个新兴的跨学科领域，在物理，计算机科学，电气工程和数学的交集上利用了量子力学定律来规避信息处理的经典限制。随着QIS课程在整个美国机构（包括在本科层面）中激增，我们认为必须从一开始就将道德和社会责任纳入QIS教育。我们讨论与QIS教育特别相关的道德问题，教育者可能希望将其纳入其课程。然后，我们报告了对六位教师的焦点访谈的发现，他们教授了QIS课程，重点是将道德和社会责任（ESR）纳入QIS课堂的障碍和机会。在面试之前，很少有教师明确考虑了课堂上的道德问题的讨论，但是教师的态度显着转移，以支持由于面试过程本身而将ESR纳入课堂上。考虑到教师对在课程中讨论ESR问题的障碍的看法，我们建议下一步在QIS课堂上进行ESR教育为现实。
Quantum information science (QIS) is an emerging interdisciplinary field at the intersection of physics, computer science, electrical engineering, and mathematics leveraging the laws of quantum mechanics to circumvent classical limitations on information processing. With QIS coursework proliferating across US institutions, including at the undergraduate level, we argue that it is imperative that ethics and social responsibility be incorporated into QIS education from the beginning. We discuss ethical issues of particular relevance to QIS education that educators may wish to incorporate into their curricula. We then report on findings from focus interviews with six faculty who have taught introductory QIS courses, focusing on barriers to and opportunities for incorporation of ethics and social responsibility (ESR) into the QIS classroom. Few faculty had explicitly considered discussion of ethical issues in the classroom prior to the interview, yet instructor attitudes shifted markedly in support of incorporating ESR in the classroom as a result of the interview process itself. Taking into account faculty's perception of obstacles to discussing issues of ESR in coursework, we propose next steps toward making ESR education in the QIS classroom a reality.
