Long abstract:

The connection between places, organizational entities and linguistic connotations of quantum technology and quantum computing in particular has rarely been examined so far, even though quantum technology is spoken about in completely different ways in different linguistic areas and different networks appear that are considered important for the development of quantum technology. The connection between important organizational networks and the linguistic negotiation of quantum technology is an important contribution to the analysis of the negotiation of technology in different linguistic areas.

As part of a network analysis, we categorized the various organizational entities, their connections and language patterns about the technology. The connection between the various players often negotiated as important or linguistically, their networking with each other and the exemplary negotiation processes about a new technology are presented in this article.

What are the linguistic connotations of quantum technology and quantum computers in particular? Which organizations are mentioned particularly frequently in published texts and in which linguistic context?
