Location: Southern Connecticut State University – Engleman Hall – Room A120 See map Panelists Colleen Bielitz Assoc. VP for Strategic Initiatives & Outreach, SCSU Florian Carle Managing Director, Yale Quantum Institute Matthew Enjalran Professor of Physics, SCSU Rye Howard-Stone Lecturer of Contemporary Issues in Computer Science and Engineering, UConn Sarah M. Roe (moderator) Director, Research Center on Values in Emerging Science and Technology, SCSU The panel will be followed by a reception to continue the conversation. As quantum technology advances rapidly, it is crucial to consider its ethical implications. While quantum applications hold the potential to transform industries, they also pose significant moral challenges. Quantum computers, for instance, could dismantle current encryption methods, jeopardizing data privacy and cybersecurity. Their ability to solve complex problems at unprecedented speeds might create unfair advantages in sectors like finance or defense, further deepening existing inequalities. By addressing these ethical concerns early, we can ensure that quantum technology develops in ways that uphold fairness, privacy, and security for all. Join us for a discussion hosted by the Research Center on Values in Emerging Science and Technology and the Yale Quantum Institute, with co-sponsorship Details

Don Gotterbarn is Director of the Software Engineering Ethics Research Institute, Professor Emeritus East Tennessee State University, and visiting professor at the Centre for Computing and Social Responsibility, UK. He currently chairs the ACM committee on professional ethics, and was instrumental in the development of IEEE/ACM Software Engineering Code of Ethics and Professional Practice. With 25 years experience and a background in teaching (computer ethics, software engineering, software project management) and as a consultant (US Navy; crime reporting database; certification of software for vote-counting; missile defense systems) he links technical research with industry and government. His research has appeared in more than 100 articles in professional journals, and his contribution to the field is recognized by various professional bodies (e.g. ACM Outstanding Contribution award 2005; and Joseph Weizenbaum award 2010 from International Society for Ethics and Information Technology).
