    A = Y';          % Linear coefficient  (A)(alpha) + blin = 0
    blin = 0;        % 
    
    for i = 1:n;
        for j = 1:n;
            H(i,j) = Y(i)*Y(j)*X(j,:)*X(i,:)';
        end;
    end;

    [alpha, obj, info, lambda] = qp([],H,L,A,blin,lb,[]);

I used pretty much the same setup, but with alpha0 = 1 to start with.

However, did you check the info.info return code? I always get a 3 even if I increase the number of iterations from the default of 200 to 1000 (options.MaxIter = 1000). Code 3 just means that maximum number of iterations reached. I can see pretty decent support vectors though, so I'm hoping that's OK.
