In the work Cho et al. [Jpn. J. Ind. Appl. Math. 33 (2016): 145-166] the authors conjecture that the quadratic nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation (NLS) i uₜ = uₓₓ + u² for x ∈𝕋 is globally well-posed for real initial data. We identify initial data whose numerical solution blows up in contradiction of this conjecture. The solution exhibits self-similar blowup and potentially nontrivial self-similar dynamics, however the proper scaling ansatz remains elusive. Furthermore, the set of real initial data which blows up under the NLS dynamics appears to occur on a codimension-1 manifold, and we conjecture that it is precisely the stable manifold of the zero equilibrium for the nonlinear heat equation uₜ = uₓₓ + u². We apply the parameterization method to study the internal dynamics of this manifold, offering a heuristic argument in support of our conjecture.
