Estimation of a general time-dependent Hamiltonian for a single qubit

Time-varying Hamiltonians can be reconstructed experimentally if the variation takes place in a single basis, but more general cases are complicated. Here, the authors present an approach to estimate the general time-dependent Hamiltonian of a single spin-qubit and apply it to a trapped-ion transpor...

Description
Summary:Time-varying Hamiltonians can be reconstructed experimentally if the variation takes place in a single basis, but more general cases are complicated. Here, the authors present an approach to estimate the general time-dependent Hamiltonian of a single spin-qubit and apply it to a trapped-ion transported through a static laser beam.
