For H(t)=Ω1​(t)A+Ω2​(t)B with fixed noncommuting Hermitian operators, [H(t),H(s)]=[Ω1​(t)Ω2​(s)−Ω2​(t)Ω1​(s)][A,B]. A constant ratio of the envelopes is sufficient to remove time ordering. Independently changing that ratio generally produces commutator corrections in the Magnus expansion, and a product of successive pulses need not equal the exponential of their summed areas.
