abstract = {The Hamiltonian of a linearly driven two-level system, or
qubit, in the standard rotating frame contains non-commuting
terms that oscillate at twice the drive frequency, ,
rendering the task of analytically finding the qubit’s
time evolution nontrivial. The application of the rotating
wave approximation (RWA), which is suitable only for drives
whose amplitude, or envelope, , is small compared to and
varies slowly on the time scale of , yields a simple
Hamiltonian that can be integrated relatively easily. We
present a series of corrections to the RWA Hamiltonian in ,
resulting in an effective Hamiltonian whose time evolution
is accurate also for time-dependent drive envelopes in the
regime of strong driving, i.e., for . By extending the
Magnus expansion with the use of a Taylor series we
introduce a method that we call the Magnus–Taylor
expansion, which we use to derive a recurrence relation for
computing the effective Hamiltonian. We then employ the same
method to derive kick operators, which complete our theory
for non-smooth drives. The time evolution generated by our
kick operators and effective Hamiltonian, both of which
depend explicitly on the envelope and its time derivatives,
agrees with the exact time evolution at periodic points in
time. For the leading Hamiltonian correction we obtain a
term proportional to the first derivative of the envelope,
which competes with the Bloch–Siegert shift.},
