Show affiliationsWe demonstrate a method to characterize the general Heisenberg Hamiltonian with non-uniform couplings by mapping the entanglement it generates as a function of time. Identification of the Hamiltonian in this way is possible as the coefficients of each operator control the oscillation frequencies of the entanglement function. The number of measurements required to achieve a given precision in the Hamiltonian parameters is determined and an efficient measurement strategy designed. We derive the relationship between the number of measurements, the resulting precision and the ultimate discrete error probability generated by a systematic mis-characterization. This has important implications when implementing two-qubit gates for fault-tolerant quantum computation.
