A St Andrews lecturer says one array bug sinks Microsoft's qubit (theregister.com)

Microsoft's code computed bias-axis symmetry with x[::-1], reversing array positions rather than the actual measured values. A separate filter, zbp_cluster_numbers=[1], plotted only the largest region; setting it to [1,2] surfaced data the paper omitted.

Legg's critique was accepted by Nature on April 20, 2026. Microsoft's Chetan Nayak calls the issues minor; the thread surfaced a 2016 Nature retraction caused by an equally small sign error.
