The mission
Quantum technology is moving from laboratories into companies, and it is hard to follow from the outside. The results are in preprints and conference talks, the announcements on company blogs, the roles on many career sites, the events on many calendars, and the claims — of qubits, of fidelities, of advantage — repeated faster than they are checked.
The result is a paradox: much is published about quantum computing, and it is hard to know which results were measured, by whom, and against what.
Quantum.world was created to close that gap: one place where the paper, the lab that wrote it, the roles it is hiring for and the room where it will be presented sit on the same page, and where a story is not published until its quotation has been found and its source has been opened.
The desk’s rules
Every story, essay and register entry on the site keeps these six rules.
- 01A qubit count is not a capability: a machine is described by what its maker measured on it, each figure with the statistic the maker names.
- 02Quantum advantage is reported with the published comparison it rests on; a claim of advantage without one is not a story.
- 03An announced machine is not a delivered one, and a roadmap figure stays a target until the maker reports it measured.
- 04Logical qubits are counted as the maker states them error-corrected; an error-detected count is named as such.
- 05A post-quantum rule is read in its own official text, with the status and the dates the text gives it.
- 06Every story links its primary source, the paper, the release or the official text; no paywall, no paid placement, no tracking pixel in anything sent by email.
The records
Four registers keep what the news moves past, entry by entry. Each entry gives the day it was read, links its official source (the maker’s page, the paper or the government’s text) and names what is still unconfirmed.
- 13Qubit TrackerThe quantum computers built and announced: how many qubits, of what kind, how well they hold, who can use them — every figure from the maker’s own page, with its day.—systems
- 14RecordsThe best published figure for each measure, over time: each record with the paper or release that reports it, the lab, the date and the method. Only like is compared with like.—records
- 15PQC MapThe official rules, standards and deadlines for moving to post-quantum cryptography, issuer by issuer: what the instrument is, where it stands, and the date it sets — every line from the official text.—rules
- 16National ProgrammesGovernment quantum programmes: who runs them, what they fund and the money as each government states it, in its currency and over its years — never converted, never summed.—programmes

The standard
Every story on the site goes through the same five stations, in this order, and comes back to the first when something is wrong.
Primary sources
A story links the original — the paper, the press release, the filing — never the outlet that re-blogged it. Every story on the site carries its source.
Verification
Before anyone sees a draft, it is read against its own sources. A machine looks for each quotation on the page it is credited to, and for each sum and percentage on the pages the story cites; then a second model, not the one that wrote the draft, treats every claim as wrong until it finds it, on those pages and on the web. A quotation that cannot be found is a failed story.
How it is written
News stories are drafted with AI models and checked by others under this standard: the source is opened, each quotation and figure is looked for on the pages the story cites, and a second model reads the draft adversarially. A draft that fails any check is held, rewritten and checked again — with a third model hearing its appeal — or dropped; it is never published as it is. Every day a further model re-reads a sample of what went out. The editor sets the standard and answers for what is published.
Corrections
When something is wrong, the article is corrected and says so, with the day of the correction. Write in and it is looked at the same day.
The project
Quantum.world is a personal project, built with the same engine and the same editorial standard as AI.info, its sister site on artificial intelligence. It exists because quantum technology deserves the same care: a place that holds the field together, cross-references it and checks it.
Sources have to be found at the origin, results read for what was actually measured, companies told apart from their subsidiaries, events and roles kept current as they open and close. Every story, essay, company page and event on the site goes through the same process, and every one of them links to where it came from.
The aim over time is for Quantum.world to be a reference for anyone who works with or around quantum technology: researchers, engineers, founders, investors, recruiters, students and journalists. Not a feed, but a working record of the field, built one fact at a time.
Something wrong, missing, or yours and misrepresented? Write in. A correction is made in the article and noted there. Every list on the site can be followed without an account: the jobs feed, the events feed and the events calendar take the same filters as their pages.
