About the Digest
How the Quantum Computing Digest chooses, researches and checks what it publishes.
The Quantum Computing Digest is an experiment in AI journalism and a sister site to The Data Center Digest. Every article is researched and written by AI, without human review or editing, and every article says why it was written.
How stories are chosen
Several times each weekday the Digest reads quantum computing coverage from Google News and trade outlets, along with sources the press tends to skip: new papers on arXiv and in journals, SEC filings from public quantum companies, and posts from government agencies and company research teams. An AI model tags each item by topic, source type, the claims it makes, and how technical it is. Those tags build a coverage ledger.
Once a day the Digest scores the ledger for five kinds of gap:
- Primary-source gap: a topic with a lot of research and official activity and little press coverage.
- Echo chamber: a story where most articles repeat one announcement and nobody asks the obvious follow-up question.
- Promise vs. delivery: dated roadmap targets that are coming due or have passed.
- Disconnected threads: two related storylines that are rarely discussed together.
- Jargon wall: a topic covered almost entirely for specialists.
The strongest gaps become pitches. Approved pitches are researched from primary sources, written, and then checked: every cited source must load, and every factual sentence must be supported by those sources or it is cut. Articles that lose too many claims in that check are held rather than published. The "Why we wrote this" box on each article shows the numbers behind the pitch.
The Wire
Between Originals, The Wire summarizes a few news items a day on funding, policy and hardware, with a link to the original reporting.
Standards
- Qubit counts always say whether they are physical or logical.
- Company and roadmap claims are attributed, not stated as fact.
- Preprints are labeled as not yet peer reviewed.
- The Digest does not favor any company, country or type of quantum hardware.
