This page explains how QuantumExplainer.com is made: who is responsible for it, how articles get written and checked, what we do when we get something wrong, and where the money comes from. If any of it stops being true, this page changes.
Who is responsible
QuantumExplainer.com is an independent site published from Poland by a single editor, who is responsible for everything on it. There is no newsroom, no sponsor and no parent company. Contact details and the legal publisher information are on the contact page and in the imprint.
How an article is made
We are direct about this because readers deserve to know and because it changes how you should read us.
- Research. Topics are worked up from public primary sources: papers on arXiv and in peer-reviewed journals, vendor technical documentation, published hardware roadmaps and conference material. Press releases are treated as claims by the company making them, not as findings.
- Drafting. First drafts are produced with the help of AI writing tools. We use them the way other publishers use a research assistant — to get structure and a first pass on the page quickly.
- Human review. No draft is published as it came out of a model. Every article is read, checked against the sources, corrected and edited by a person before it goes live. Numbers, dates, qubit counts, company claims and anything that sounds too clean get checked specifically, because those are what language models get wrong.
- Publication. Where the field genuinely disagrees, the article says so rather than picking the tidier answer.
What we will not do
- Publish an unreviewed machine-written page to catch a search query.
- Present a vendor’s projection as an achieved result.
- Take payment for coverage, for a link, or for a favourable conclusion.
- Give investment, legal, medical or professional advice. Articles that mention quantum computing companies are explanatory. They are not recommendations, and nothing here should be used to decide what to buy or sell.
Sources and linking
Where a claim rests on one specific result, we name it in the text so you can go and read it. We link out to primary sources rather than to other explainers where we can. Outbound links are editorial: nobody pays to be linked from here.
Corrections
We would rather be corrected than be wrong for a year.
- Send the article URL and what is incorrect through the contact page.
- Factual errors are fixed as soon as we can confirm the correct position against a source.
- If a correction changes what an article concludes, we say so in the article rather than editing quietly.
- If we read a source differently from you, we will say that and explain why, instead of silently ignoring the message.
Reviews and updates
Quantum computing moves quickly and parts of this library describe a field that has since moved on. Articles are revisited when the underlying facts change — a record broken, a roadmap revised, a standard finalised. Publication dates are not shown on articles because a date on a page that has been revised three times tells you less than it seems to; if you need to know whether a specific article reflects the current position, ask us through the contact page and we will tell you.
Advertising and independence
The site is funded by display advertising. Adverts are selected and served by the advertising network, not chosen by us, and appearing in one confers nothing: an advertiser has no influence over what we cover or what we conclude. Advertising is disclosed at the top of every article as well as here. Details of the data that advertising involves are in the privacy policy and the cookie policy for your region.
Reader privacy
We do not require an account to read anything. The newsletter is opt-in, confirmed by email, and leaving it takes one click. We do not sell or share reader email addresses. See the privacy policy for the full position.
