What class of materials are closest to realizing the tunable coupling Hamiltonian?
From a physics point of view, there is an effective (approximation to second-order coupling Jaynes-Cummings) Hamiltonian of the form [1]
\begin{equation}
H=\sum_j\omega_j(t)\sigma_j^z+\sum_{\langle i,...

Molecular orbitals and active space
During the same minute as asking this question, I also asked this at Quantum Computing SE.
In Qiskit, each qubit corresponds to one spin orbital. For example, the $\ce{N2}$ molecule would have 10 ...

How to solve time-dependent Schrodinger equation and plot trajectory on Bloch sphere?
Let's say I have a $2 \times 2$ Hamiltonian that I am solving using the time-dependent Schrodinger equation:
$$
i \frac{d}{dt} |{\Phi}\rangle=H|{\Phi}\rangle.\tag{1}
$$
Consider a generic Hamiltonian
