I had made Microsoft Quantum aware of issues before publication of their latest Nature paper (which uses the TGP to tune up their devices). Now I have made all issues public. In short: The topological gap protocol and all claims based on it are flawed. arxiv.org/abs/2502.19560

I'm not posting much on here any more except the odd work-related announcement, so if you'd like to see more from me, please seek me out elsewhere...! 👀

After a couple of weeks at @EdinburghUni, I think I've spotted at least 3 other graduates of the @cm_cdt who now have lecturer/faculty-level roles here. Nice to be bumping into old cohort-mates all these years later!

Been meaning to do this for a while, but I've finally created an account elsewhere. If you're active over there, let me know! I'd love to find interesting people to follow! bsky.app/profile/physic…
