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

  • In the scenario of large-scale problems, the distribution of eigenvalues tends to converge to a normal distribution.

    “In the scenario of large-scale problems, the distribution of eigenvalues tends to converge to a normal distribution 42 .”

    From Toward a linear-ramp QAOA protocol: evidence of a scaling advantage in solving some combinatorial optimization problems (2025) · cites this paper as [42]

    The paper describes normal limiting distributions for permutation statistics and joint distributions of variates (Columbia University, pp. 12–14), not for eigenvalues. A search for eigenvalues and matrix characteristic roots found no passage addressing the claimed eigenvalue distribution. (LLM, conf=0.76)

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.
