shaped_pulse_xy.m

Shaped pulse function using Cartesian coordinates. Applies a user-specified pulse shape on user-specified operators while the rest of the drift Liouvillian continues to affect the spin system. The pulse is assumed to be piecewise-constant and should be supplied with sufficiently fine time discretization to properly reproduce the waveform.

Syntax

    [rho,P]=shaped_pulse_xy(spin_system,drift,controls,...
                            amplitudes,slice_durs,rho,method)

Arguments

      drift - the drift Liouvillian, the part of the Liouvillian that
              should continue running in the background. This should 
              include the pulse transmitter offset, if any. 

   controls - a cell array of control operators corresponding to each
              channel, this may include operators for spatial degrees
              of freedom, such as gradients and diffusion.

 amplitudes - a cell array of control amplitude vectors in angular
              frequency units.

 slice_durs - a vector containing the duration of each pulse slice,
              seconds.

        rho - state vector of the initial state, or a stack thereof.

     method - propagation method, 'expv' for Krylov propagation, 
              'expm' for exponential propagation, 'evolution' for
              Spinach evolution function

Outputs

        rho - state vector for the final state, or a stack thereof

          P - pulse propagator (expensive)

Examples
