Hc(t)H_c(t)

Why this formula appears here

The crank-magnet error this section exists to name lives exactly at the boundary between these two Hamiltonians: an observer who correctly computes UHfH_fU†U^\dagger — a legitimate operator identity, unchanged from the passive-relabeling case above — and then uses that operator, rather than Hc(t)H_c(t) , to predict or track the rotating frame’s own dynamics will find a discrepancy with no term in their own equations to explain it, on a clock the lab frame does not keep. The discrepancy is not missing energy. It is a dropped term whose physical origin is whatever classical control is enacting U(t) in the first place — the field ramp, the driven rotation — already doing ordinary, accountable work on…
