About
Curated Quantum Misinformation
QuantumMisinformation.com was created in October 2021 to curate the efforts of the Quantum Twitterverse to push back against misleading statements about quantum information science (QIS).
The scope includes serious examples of quantum misinformation, lighthearted uses of "quantum" in popular media and products, and factual quantum information.
What is the Quantum Twitterverse?
Many quantum information scientists are active on Twitter, and they have referred to their online community as the Quantum Twitterverse since at least 2015, e.g., @quantumashley:
Welcome Aram to the Twitterverse! (or maybe those of us whose names start with "quantum" should be the Quitterverse) https://t.co/t5ClGb30I2
