Quantum Scientists for Disarmament: a Manifesto

We, as researchers in quantum science and technology, are publishing this manifesto to express our deep concerns about the current geopolitical situation and the global race to rearm. We firmly oppose all forms of militarization in our societies and, in particular, within the academic world. We categorically reject the use of our research for military applications, population control, or surveillance. We stand against the practice of military funding for research. This manifesto is a call to action: to confront the elephant in the room of quantum research, and to unite all researchers who share our views.

Our main goals are:

• To express, as a unified collective, our rejection of the use of our research for military purposes.
• To open a debate in our community about the ethical implications of quantum research for military purposes.
• To create a forum where concerned scientists can share their opinions and join forces in support of demilitarized research.
• To advocate for the establishment of a public database listing all research projects at public universities funded by military or defense agencies.

In what follows, we lay out our concerns and the rationale behind our opposition to the militarization of quantum research.

Quantum Source popped up on my radar, and I noticed the company is doing things a little differently. It’s using two modalities instead of one. It’s using 3D measurement-based quantum computing, which I’ve only been aware of in 2D. And it addresses one of my long-term concerns about large-scale quantum computers: physical footprint. I had questions about all this and more, and now you’ve got the answers.

To make #QuantumTechnology truly applicable it is necessary to create essential basic technologies. Scientists from MPL & Fraunhofer IISB conduct #research in the field of #siliconCarbide with the joint project #ALP4SiC. Due to its unique physical properties, #SiC is an ideal platform for #photonics, electronics & #quantum applications.
