Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • It is possible to tune the amount of entanglement between two nodes in such a way that it equals the probability to have a link in classical Erdos-Renyi graphs.

    “it has been shown that it is possible to tune the amount of entanglement between two nodes in such a way that it equals the probability to have a link in (classical) Erdos -Renyi graphs 6 .”

    From Complex networks from classical to quantum (2019) · cites this paper as [6]

    The paper’s bond-percolation discussion (section labelled Abstract; page unavailable) says that converting an entangled state to a singlet establishes a link with probability equal to the singlet-conversion probability. But it studies probabilistic links on regular lattices, not Erdős–Rényi graphs, so the graph-specific attribution is unsupported. (LLM, conf=0.88)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • Even the classical network describing a quantum system can exhibit complex features.

    “even the classical network describing a quantum system can exhibit complex features”

    From Complex networks from classical to quantum (2019) · cites this paper as [6]

    The paper says that quantum networks with simple, regular geometries can show “very rich and intriguing behaviour” (section labeled Abstract; page unavailable). It relates that behaviour to entanglement and percolation, but does not establish that the classical network describing the quantum system itself has complex features. (LLM, conf=0.79)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • Novel quantum induced effects have been predicted in random graphs where edges represent entangled links.

    “Novel quantum induced effects have been predicted in random graphs -where edges represent entangled links”

    From Complex networks from classical to quantum (2019) · cites this paper as [6]

    The paper’s Abstract (page unavailable) predicts novel entanglement-percolation effects in networks whose connected nodes share entangled states. But it specifies that the networks studied have regularly arranged nodes, including lattices; it does not describe the underlying networks as random graphs. (LLM, conf=0.88)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • Complex network methods have successfully been applied to transport and entanglement models.

    “Complex network methods have successfully been applied to transport and entanglement models”

    From Complex networks from classical to quantum (2019) · cites this paper as [6]

    The paper’s Abstract applies percolation concepts to entanglement in quantum networks and reports improved quantum-communication protocols. It does not establish the separate claim about applications to transport models. (LLM, conf=0.84)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • In the case of qubits, the probability of having an entangled path with infinite length is unity.

    “in the case of qubits, it has been shown that the probability of having an entangled path with in fi nite length -i.e., an in fi nite sequence of entangled states connecting an in fi nite number of qubits -is unity.”

    From Complex networks from classical to quantum (2019) · cites this paper as [6]

    The passage labeled Abstract (page unavailable) says that, for two-dimensional lattices of qubits, the probability of an infinitely connected entangled path is unity over a continuous interval of entanglement values. The claim omits those conditions and presents the result as applying to qubits generally; the same passage says the probability is zero for product states. (LLM, conf=0.88)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
