Weekly count of arXiv quant-ph preprints on qubit error correction and fault-tolerant quantum computing. This is genuine alternative data — actual research output, not a stock price — though it is a thin, unbacktested signal with a short documented track record. PCS is intentionally low until enough history accumulates to test it properly.
Peer-reviewed papers from Google Quantum AI, IBM Research, and Microsoft Station Q appear on arXiv 2–6 weeks before press releases. A sustained spike in publication velocity from major labs has, in a small number of observed cases, preceded institutional rotation into quantum stocks.

The lead time above is a design assumption, not an out-of-sample-validated relationship for a specific security or index. This is one Capex & Technology input among 47; it measures macro context, not a full investment thesis.
