The source backs part of the claim, not all of it — or backs it for a different population, condition or comparison.
In the citing paper
“Quantum cryptography provides authentication and unbreakable encryption or unconditional security over traditional cryptographic methods by exploiting the principles of quantum mechanics, such as superposition and entanglement (Gisin et al., 2002; Mafu and Senekane, 2018).”

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.
