24. Formally, the method presented will work for any four-dimensional Hamiltonian system.
25. We consider only noise due to finite sampling for each time tn, which is Poissonian. In the large Ne limit, and for pkl 0,1, this tends to Gaussian noise.

31. In this case, the small number of parameters to be estimated means that a simple least-squares fit performs adequately. A Bayesian analysis is made more difficult by the complicated dependence of the basis functions on the undetermined parameters, although this approach may lead to better estimates than the ones presented here, but at a cost of greater computational complexity. This is a topic for further research.
32. Composite pulses or robust optimal control can be used to relax the need for extremely accurate Hamiltonian characterization.
