Consider now a general time-dependent field B(t) of duration T. The pulse B(t) may be extremely convoluted ... Can one make the field B(t) return the system to its original state at the end of the pulse...?
This pulse is modelled as a long sequence of rotations. For maths purposes if you had such a sequence, you can obviously just multiply all the rotations together and find the inverse very easily. For physics purposes, you don't really have access to each individual rotation, all you can do is tune the pulse. Creating an "inverse pulse" is quite unwieldy, you might literally need to create new hardware. The paper asks "what if we just amplified the pulse? Can we change this alone and make it not impart any rotation?" uniformly tuning the field’s magnitude, B(t) → λB(t) or by uniformly stretching or compressing time, B(t) → B(λt)
And the answer is that you can do that, but you might have to perform the pulse twice.
Still semble is a few orders of magnitude faster and gave better results against ck —-sem. I am running both on rust-lang/rust and CK is going to take hours at least, extrapolating from current stats probably 3 days? Semble: 26 seconds without any caching. The thing doesn’t have a cache and it’s still massively faster. I added caching support and watchman integration and got it down to 1.4 seconds. 3 days is basically not good enough for this use case. It’s slow enough that indexing is going to lag your code changes. Semble is fast enough that it’s not going to be behind.
