  Hype over novel quantum technologies has prompted discussion on the likely
societal impacts of the sector. Calls to ensure the responsible development of
quantum technologies are complicated by a lack of concrete case studies or
real-world examples of irresponsible quantum. At this stage, responsible
quantum faces a situation reminiscent of the Collingridge dilemma. In this
dilemma, the moment in which discussion on societal risks and benefits can be
most impactful is also the time where the least information is available. The
flipside of this challenge is an opportunity to build processes for examining
the public good of quantum before the trajectory (and potential problems) of
the sector become locked in. Recent work in this space has argued that quantum
researchers and innovators must work with society to address uncertainties and
concerns. By engaging quantum stakeholders and understanding their perspectives
on responsibility, this paper seeks to support this proposition and enable
further dialogue on responsible development and use of quantum technologies.
