ChatGPT’s response to my grant rejection frustration: “allow yourself space to feel the disappointment properly. You don’t need to move straight to silver linings. This is part of the emotional cost of doing high-risk, high-reward research—and it’s ok to feel knocked by it.” pretty good I thought.

I had made Microsoft Quantum aware of issues before publication of this latest Nature paper (which uses it tune up their devices).
Since they seem to not care, I have make these issues public.
In short: The topological gap protocol and all claims based on it are flawed.
