Exchange symmetry obstruction to individual spin control ($[H(t),S]=0\Rightarrow [U(t),S]=0$)

Let $S$ be the SWAP gate. If the drift Hamiltonian operator and every allowed control Hamiltonian operator commute with $S$, every reachable time-evolution operator also commutes with $S$. Indeed, $SUS$ satisfies the same initial-value Schrödinger equation as $U$ and starts at $I$, so uniqueness gives $SUS=U$. Yet $S(Z\otimes I)S=I\otimes Z\ne Z\otimes I$. An individual Pauli Z gate is consequently unavailable within that symmetric control model. Equal nuclear resonances, isotropic exchange interaction, and identical coupling to a common homogeneous radio frequency field provide an example. An added interaction that breaks this symmetry can remove the obstruction.
