+Here we describe how to transform the data of a single reference oscillator signal to that of an
+inhomogeneous distribution. %
+The oscillators in the distribution are allowed have arbitrary energies for their states, which
+will cause frequency shifts in the resonances. %
+To show this, we start with a modified, but equivalent, form of \autoref{mix:eqn:rho_f}:
+\begin{equation} \label{mix:eqn:rho_f_modified}
+\begin{split}
+\frac{d\tilde{\rho}_f}{dt} =& -\Gamma_f\tilde{\rho}_f + \frac{i}{2}\lambda_f\mu_f c_x(t-\tau_x) \\
+& \times e^{i\kappa_f\left( \vec{k}\cdot z + \omega_x \tau_x \right)} e^{-i\kappa_f\left( \omega_x-\left|\omega_f \right| \right)t}\tilde{\rho}_i(t).
+\end{split}
+\end{equation}
+
+We consider two oscillators with transition frequencies $\omega_f$ and $\omega_f^\prime=\omega_f +
+\delta$. %
+So long as $\left| \delta \right| \leq \omega_f$ (so that $\left| \omega_f + \delta \right| =
+\left| \omega_f \right| + \delta$ and thus the rotating wave approximation does not change),
+\autoref{mix:eqn:rho_f_modified} shows that the two are related by %
+\begin{equation} \label{mix:eqn:freq_translation}
+\frac{d\tilde{\rho}_f^\prime}{dt}(t;\omega_x) = \frac{d\tilde{\rho}_f}{dt}(t;\omega_x-\delta)e^{i\kappa_f \delta \tau_x}.
+\end{equation}
+
+Because both coherences are assumed to have the same initial conditions
+($\rho_0(-\infty)=\rho_0^\prime(-\infty)=0$), the equality also holds when both sides of the
+equation are integrated. %
+The phase factor $e^{i\kappa_f\delta\tau_x}$ in the substitution arises from \autoref{mix:eqn:E_l},
+where the pulse carrier frequency maintains its phase within the pulse envelope for all delays. %
+
+The resonance translation can be extended to higher order signals as well. %
+For a third-order signal, we compare systems with transition frequencies
+$\omega_{10}^\prime=\omega_{10}+a$ and $\omega_{21}^\prime = \omega_{21}+b$. %
+The extension of \autoref{mix:eqn:freq_translation} to pathway $V\beta$ gives %
+\begin{equation}
+\begin{split}
+\tilde{\rho}_3^\prime(t;\omega_2, \omega_2^\prime, \omega_1) =& \tilde{\rho}_3(t;\omega_2-a,\omega_{2^\prime}-a,\omega_1-b) \\
+&\times e^{i\kappa_2 a \tau_2} e^{i\kappa_{2^\prime} a \tau_{2^\prime}} e^{i\kappa_1 b \tau_1}.
+\end{split}
+\end{equation}
+
+The translation of each laser coordinate depends on which transition is made (e.g. $a$ for
+transitions between $|0\rangle$ and $|1\rangle$ or $b$ for transitions between $|1\rangle$ and
+$|2\rangle$), so the exact translation relation differs between pathways. %
+We can now compute the ensemble average of signal for pathway $V\beta$ as a convolution between the
+distribution function of the system, $K(a,b)$, and the single oscillator response: %
+\begin{equation}
+\begin{split}
+\langle \tilde{\rho}_3 (t;\omega_2,\omega_{2^\prime},\omega_1) \rangle =& \iint K(a,b)\\
+& \times \tilde{\rho}_3 (t;\omega_2+a,\omega_{2^\prime}+a,\omega_1+b) \\
+& \times e^{i\kappa_2 a \tau_2} e^{i\kappa_{2^\prime} a \tau_{2^\prime}} e^{i\kappa_1 b \tau_1} da \ db.
+\end{split}
+\end{equation}
+For this work, we restrict ourselves to a simpler ensemble where all oscillators have equally
+spaced levels (i.e. $a=b$). %
+This makes the translation identical for all pathways and reduces the dimensionality of the
+convolution. %
+Since pathways follow the same convolution we may also perform the convolution on the total signal field:
+\begin{equation}
+\begin{split}
+\langle E_{\text{tot}}(t) \rangle =& \sum_L \mu_{4,L} \int K(a,a) \\
+& \times \tilde{\rho}_{3,L}(t;\omega_x-a,\omega_y-a\omega_z-a) \\
+& \times e^{ia\left( \kappa_x\tau_x + \kappa_y\tau_y + \kappa_z\tau_z \right)} da.
+\end{split}
+\end{equation}
+Furthermore, since $\kappa=-1$ for $E_1$ and $E_{2^\prime}$, while $\kappa=1$ for $E_2$, we have
+$e^{ia\left( \kappa_x\tau_x + \kappa_y\tau_y + \kappa_z\tau_z \right)} = e^{-ia\left( \tau_1 -
+ \tau_2 + \tau_{2^\prime} \right)}$ for all pathways. %
+Equivalently, if the electric field is parameterized in terms of laser coordinates $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$, the ensemble field can be calculated as
+\begin{equation} \label{mix:eqn:convolve_final}
+\begin{split}

+\subsection{Matrix formulation} % ----------------------------------------------------------------
+
+\subsubsection{Generic single pathway}
+
+In this work we explicitly incorporate our time-dependent electric fields into the Liouville
+equations as done by \textcite{GelinMaximF2009.000}. %
+
+Our third order experiment involves three successive light-matter interactions. In a generic
+Liouville pathway $\rho_0 \overset{x}\rightarrow \rho_1 \overset{y}\rightarrow \rho_2
+\overset{z}\rightarrow \rho_3 \overset{\mathrm{out}}\rightarrow \rho_4$, the third order
+polarization can be written as three coupled differential equations: %
+
+\begin{eqnarray}
+\frac{\mathrm{d}\tilde{\rho}_1}{\mathrm{d}t} &=& -\Gamma_1\tilde{\rho}_1 + S_1(t)\tilde{\rho}_0(t) \\
+\frac{\mathrm{d}\tilde{\rho}_2}{\mathrm{d}t} &=& -\Gamma_2\tilde{\rho}_2 + S_2(t)\tilde{\rho}_1(t) \\
+\frac{\mathrm{d}\tilde{\rho}_3}{\mathrm{d}t} &=& -\Gamma_3\tilde{\rho}_3 + S_3(t)\tilde{\rho}_2(t)
+\end{eqnarray}
+
+Where $S$ contains all light-matter interactions:
+
+\begin{equation}
+S_j(t) \equiv \frac{i}{2}\lambda_j\mu_je^{-i\kappa_j\omega_n\tau_n}c_n(t-\tau_n)e^{i(\kappa_j\omega_n-\omega_j)t}
+\end{equation}
+
+Here, $j$ denotes the transition and $n$ denotes the driving pulse.
+See discussion of Equation 4 for identification of each term.
+The emitted electric field is proportional to $\tilde{\rho}_3$ (see Equation 6), so there is no
+need to explicitly consider $\rho_3 \overset{\mathrm{out}}\rightarrow \rho_4$. %
+Note that we do not include depletion due to light-matter interaction.
+0 is the ground state, so $\rho_0 = 1$ and $\Gamma_0 = 0$.
+
+Our three coupled differential equations can be cast into a matrix form:
+
+\begin{eqnarray}
+\frac{\mathrm{d}\overline{\rho}}{\mathrm{d}t} &=& \overline{\overline{Q}}(t)\overline{\rho} \label{eq:generic_diff} \\
+\overline{\rho} &\equiv&
+\begin{bmatrix}
+\tilde{\rho}_0 \\
+\tilde{\rho}_1 \\
+\tilde{\rho}_2 \\
+\tilde{\rho}_3
+\end{bmatrix} \\
+\overline{\overline{Q}}(t) &\equiv&
+\begin{bmatrix}
+-\Gamma_0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\
+S_1(t) & -\Gamma_1 & 0 & 0 \\
+0 & S_2(t) & -\Gamma_2 & 0 \\
+0 & 0 & S_3(t) & -\Gamma_3
+\end{bmatrix}
+\end{eqnarray}
+
+\autoref{mix:eqn:generic_diff} could be numerically integrated to determine $\tilde{\rho}_3$ for
+this pathway. %
+
+\subsubsection{Full formulation} % ----------------------------------------------------------------
+
+As discussed throughout this chapter and shown in \textbf{TODO}, there are 6 unique time-orderings
+and 16 unique pathways to consider in this work. %
+One could write a separate differential equation for each pathway---this would require tabulation
+of 48 density matrix elements. %
+Instead, we capitalize on the symmetry of our pathways to create a single differential equation
+that is computationally cheaper. %
+
+\begin{figure}
+ \includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{"mixed_domain/matrix flow diagram"}
+ \label{mix:fig:matrix_flow_diagram}
+ \caption{
+ Network of Liouville pathways in this work.
+ Superscripts denote the field interactions that have occurred to make the density matrix
+ element.
+ Colors denote the pulse that is used for each transition (blue is $E_1$, red is $E_{2^\prime}$
+ and green is $E_2$).
+ }
+\end{figure}
+
+\autoref{fig:matrix_flow_diagram} diagrams our 16 Liouville pathways as a network of interconnected
+steps. %
+Some density matrix elements, such as $\tilde{\rho}_{10}$, appear multiple times because there are
+several distinguishable pathways that involve that element. %
+We do not include $\tilde{\rho}_{00}^{(1-2)}$ and $\tilde{\rho}_{00}^{(2^\prime-2)}$ because they
+have exactly the same amplitude as $\tilde{\rho}_{11}^{(1-2)}$ and
+$\tilde{\rho}_{11}^{(2^\prime-2)}$ within our simulation. Pathways where $\rho_3$ is fed by
+$\tilde{\rho}_{00}$ are sign-flipped to account for this. %
+
+First we define a state vector containing all nine elements in \autoref{fig:matrix_flow_diagram}:
+
+\begin{equation}
+\overline{\rho} \equiv
+\begin{bmatrix}
+\tilde{\rho}_{00} \\
+\tilde{\rho}_{01}^{(-2)} \\
+\tilde{\rho}_{10}^{(2^\prime)} \\
+\tilde{\rho}_{10}^{(1)} \\
+\tilde{\rho}_{20}^{(1+2^\prime)} \\
+\tilde{\rho}_{11}^{(1-2)} \\
+\tilde{\rho}_{11}^{(2^\prime-2)} \\
+\tilde{\rho}_{10}^{(1-2+2^\prime)} \\
+\tilde{\rho}_{21}^{(1-2+2^\prime)}
+\end{bmatrix}
+\end{equation}
+
+To write $\overline{\overline{Q}}$, we pull most of the time dependence into a series of six variables, one for each combination of pulse (subscript) and material resonance ($A$ for $10$, $B$ for $21$).
+
+\begin{eqnarray}
+A_1 &\equiv& \frac{i}{2}\mu_{10}e^{-i\omega_1\tau_1}c_1(t-\tau_1)e^{i(\omega_1-\omega_{10})t} \\
+A_2 &\equiv& \frac{i}{2}\mu_{10}e^{i\omega_2\tau_2}c_2(t-\tau_2)e^{-i(\omega_2-\omega_{10})t} \\
+A_{2^\prime} &\equiv& \frac{i}{2}\mu_{10}e^{-i\omega_{2^\prime}\tau_{2^\prime}}c_{2^\prime}(t-\tau_{2^\prime})e^{i(\omega_{2^\prime}-\omega_{10})t} \\
+B_1 &\equiv& \frac{i}{2}\mu_{21}e^{-i\omega_1\tau_1}c_1(t-\tau_1)e^{i(\omega_1-\omega_{21})t} \\
+B_2 &\equiv& \frac{i}{2}\mu_{21}e^{i\omega_2\tau_2}c_2(t-\tau_2)e^{-i(\omega_2-\omega_{21})t} \\
+B_{2^\prime} &\equiv& \frac{i}{2}\mu_{21}e^{-i\omega_{2^\prime}\tau_{2^\prime}}c_{2^\prime}(t-\tau_{2^\prime})e^{i(\omega_{2^\prime}-\omega_{21})t}
+\end{eqnarray}
+
+Each off-diagonal element in $\overline{\overline{Q}}$ has two influences determining its sign: the $\tilde{\rho}_{00}$ feeding effect discussed above and $\lambda$, $+$ for ket-side and $-$ for bra-side transitions. $\tilde{\rho}_{11}^{(1-2)} \overset{2^\prime}\rightarrow \tilde{\rho}_{10}^{(1-2+2^\prime)}$ and $\tilde{\rho}_{11}^{(2^\prime-2)} \overset{1}\rightarrow \tilde{\rho}_{10}^{(1-2+2^\prime)}$ are each doubled to account for the $\alpha$ and $\gamma$ pathways that are overlapped due to our combination of $\tilde{\rho}_{00}$ and $\tilde{\rho}_{11}$.
+
+\begin{equation}
+\overline{\overline{Q}} \equiv
+\begin{bmatrix}
+ 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\
+ -A_2 & -\Gamma_{10} & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\
+ A_{2^\prime} & 0 & -\Gamma_{10} & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\
+ A_1 & 0 & 0 & -\Gamma_{10} & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\
+ 0 & 0 & B_1 & B_{2^\prime} & -\Gamma_{20} & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\
+ 0 & A_1 & 0 & -A_2 & 0 & -\Gamma_{11} & 0 & 0 & 0 \\
+ 0 & A_{2^\prime} & -A_2 & 0 & 0 & 0 & -\Gamma_{11} & 0 & 0 \\
+ 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & B_2 & -2A_{2^\prime} & -2A_1 & -\Gamma_{10} & 0 \\
+ 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & -A_2 & B_{2^\prime} & B_1 & 0 & -\Gamma_{21}
+\end{bmatrix}
+\label{eq:single_Q}
+\end{equation}
+
+Note that this approach implicitly enforces our phase matching conditions and pathways. To simulate single time-orderings we simply remove elements from \ref{eq:single_Q}. For example, to isolate time ordering \RomanNumeral{1}:
+
+\begin{equation}
+\overline{\overline{Q}}_\RomanNumeral{1} \equiv
+\begin{bmatrix}
+0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\
+0 & -\Gamma_{10} & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\
+0 & 0 & -\Gamma_{10} & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\
+A_1 & 0 & 0 & -\Gamma_{10} & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\
+0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & -\Gamma_{20} & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\
+0 & 0 & 0 & -A_2 & 0 & -\Gamma_{11} & 0 & 0 & 0 \\
+0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & -\Gamma_{11} & 0 & 0 \\
+0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & -2A_{2^\prime} & 0 & -\Gamma_{10} & 0 \\
+0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & B_{2^\prime} & 0 & 0 & -\Gamma_{21}
+\end{bmatrix}
+\label{eq:single_Q_pw1}
+\end{equation}
+
+These equations are somewhat general to four wave mixing of systems like the one considered in this
+work. %
+We have not taken all the simplifications that are possible in our specific system, such as
+$\omega_{10} = \omega_{21}$ and $\Gamma_{11} = 0$. %
+See \autoref{section:scripts} for more details about our simulation, including where to find the
+scripts and raw output behind this work. %
+
+\subsection{Heun method}
+
+The equations defining evolution of a density matrix element under the influence of a perturbative
+time-dependent coupling source can be expressed as a first order linear ordinary differential
+equation with the form
+
+\begin{equation}
+\frac{dy}{dt} = -Py + Q(t)
+\label{eq:ordinary_diff}
+\end{equation}
+
+For finite time steps, $\Delta$, numerical integration can be achieved by Taylor expansion about
+the current time point, $t_0$:
+
+\begin{equation}
+y(t_0+\Delta) = y(t_0) + \Delta\frac{d}{dt}y(t_0) + \frac{\Delta^2}{2}\frac{d^2}{dt^2}y(t_0)+\cdots
+\label{eq:taylor_expansion}
+\end{equation}
+
+The Taylor expansion must be truncated to compute.
+A first order expansion (\textit{i.e.} the Euler method) will suffice for sufficiently small time
+steps.
+\autoref{eq:ordinary_diff} makes the first-order expansion easily evaluated:
+
+\begin{eqnarray}
+y(t_0+\Delta) &\approx& y(t_0) + \Delta\frac{d}{dt}y(t_0) \\
+&=& y(t_0) + \Delta \mathpzc{f}(t_0, y(t_0))
+\end{eqnarray}
+
+We have used the operator $\mathpzc{f}(t_0, y(t_0)) \equiv -Py(t_0)+Q(t_0)$ for simplicity.
+
+We used the Heun method (also known as the improved Euler method \cite{BlanchardP2006.000}), which
+includes the second order of \autoref{eq:taylor_expansion}.
+By doing this we can increase the time step while maintaining the same error tolerance.
+For this case, a computationally cheap way to increase the order of the Taylor expansion without
+explicitly evaluating the second derivative is to approximate the second derivative in terms of the
+first derivative:
+
+\begin{eqnarray}
+\frac{d^2}{dt^2} &\approx& \frac{1}{\Delta}\left[\frac{d}{dt}y(t_0+\Delta)-\frac{d}{dt}y(t_0)\right] \\
+&=& \frac{1}{\Delta}\left[\mathpzc{f}(t_0+\Delta, y(t_0+\Delta)-\mathpzc{f}(t_0, y(t_0))\right]
+\end{eqnarray}
+
+This substitution is problematic, however, because the value of $y(t_0+\Delta)$ is not known---indeed it is the desired quantity. For an approximation of the second derivative we approximate $y(t_0+\Delta)$ using the first-order expansion of $y$ about $t_0$:
+
+\begin{equation}
+y(t_0+\Delta) \approx \left[y(t_0)+\Delta\mathpzc{f}(t_0, y(t_0)\right]
+\end{equation}
+
+Note that since $y(t_0+\Delta t) = y(t_0)+\Delta\mathpzc{f}(t_0, y(t_0))+O(\Delta^2)$, the second derivative term will be
+
+\begin{equation}
+\frac{\Delta^2}{2}\frac{d^2}{dt^2}y(t_0) = \frac{\Delta}{2}\mathpzc{f}\left(t_0, y(t_0)+\Delta\mathpzc{f}(t_0,y(t_0))\right) + O(\Delta^3)
+\end{equation}
+
+which has the same error scaling as truncating the Taylor series at second order. With our second derivative substitution, the second-order Taylor expansion becomes
+
+\begin{eqnarray}
+y(t_0+\Delta) &\approx& y(t_0) + \frac{\Delta}{2}\left[\mathpzc{f}\left(t_0, y(t_0)\right) + \mathpzc{f}\left(t_0+\Delta, y(t_0)+\Delta\mathpzc{f}\left(t_0,y(t_0)\right)\right)\right] \\
+&=& y(t_0) + \frac{\Delta}{2}\left[-Py(t_0)+Q(t_0)-P\left(y(t_0)+\Delta\left(-Py(t_0)+Q(t_0)\right)\right)+Q(t_0+\Delta)\right] \\
+&=& y(t_0) + \frac{\Delta}{2}\left[Q(t_0) + Q(t_0+\Delta) - 2Py(t_0) + P^2\Delta y(t_0)\right]
+\end{eqnarray}
+
+Which is now easily evaluated.
+
+It is not clear \textit{a priori} that the Heun method is more efficient than the Euler method.
+Efficiency is the product of the number of time steps used and the amount of time spent at each
+point. %
+The Heun method would presumably be able to use fewer time steps, but each point sampled requires
+more calculation. %
+Inevitably, efficiency is also a question of external factors, such as how efficiently the code
+executes each method. %
+
+We resorted to empirical tests to verify that the Heun methods helped our implementation of the
+integration.
+First we examined the convergence of the integration techniques.
+\autoref{mix:fig:heun} shows the integration of a Liouville pathway using our software with Euler
+and Heun methods.
+The mutual convergence to the true integral value of 1 is seen with both methods.
+For a given error tolerance, the Heun method requires roughly half as many points as the Euler
+method.
+With this in mind, we benchmarked computations where the Euler method simulations used rougly twice
+as many points as the Heun method simulations.
+We found the Heun method to be roughly 1.9 times faster, indicating the extra computation of the
+Heun method had minimal effect on the total computation time.
+
+We note that there are more advanced methods suited for integrating ordinary differential
+equations, such as multi-stage Runge-Kutta methods.
+These methods may speed up computational times even further, but we have not investigated them at
+this time.

+\begin{itemize}[topsep=-1.5ex, itemsep=-1ex, partopsep=-1ex, parsep=1ex]
+ \item custom simulation package
+ \item raw output
+ \item processing scripts

+\end{itemize}
+This section contains details necessary to understand and use what we have shared.
+All supplementary information, including this PDF, can be found on the Open Science Framework, DOI:
+\href{https://dx.doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/EJ2XE}{10.17605/OSF.IO/EJ2XE}.
+
+The raw and measured simulation arrays are stored within this supplementary information as a series
+of Hierarchical Data Format (HDF5) files.
+HDF5 is an open source format supported by many programs and programming languages, see
+\href{https://www.hdfgroup.org}{https://www.hdfgroup.org} for more information.
+
+To save space we compressed the arrays using the lossless compression format gzip, see
+\href{http://www.gzip.org}{http://www.gzip.org} for more information.
+
+If you are opening the arrays within Python we recommend using the fantastic h5py library (part of
+the Scipy stack) to easily decompress and import.
+
+\subsection{Simulation package}
+
+We have built an open source Python package for simulating CMDS. We call it Numerical Integration of Schrödinger's Equation (NISE). It is built on top of the open source SciPy library \cite{JonesEric2011.000}, and is compatible with all versions of Python 2.7 and newer.
+
+We have included the NISE package in this supplementary information. To use NISE first install Python and SciPy if you haven't already, see \href{https://www.scipy.org/install.html}{https://www.scipy.org/install.html}. Then place the NISE package into a directory within your \texttt{PYTHONPATH}. You should be able to \texttt{import NISE} to run and interact with simulations.
+
+We have also built a general-purpose data analysis package called WrightTools. NISE does not require WrightTools, but many of the processing scripts and the figure creation script used in this work do. For this reason we have included the WrightTools package in the supplementary information.
+
+Our software packages are constantly being developed. The versions kept in this supplementary information are primarily for legacy purposes, to ensure that the processing scripts are kept in their full context. Please refer to our GitHub page, \href{https://github.com/wright-group}{https://github.com/wright-group}, for the most recent version of our open source software and hardware.
+
+\subsubsection{Raw}
+
+The raw simulation in this work was generated using NISE and the \texttt{NISE\_iterator.py} script found in the raw folder.
+
+In NISE, an \texttt{experiment} module is loaded to define the electric field variables and the experimental conditions, like the phase matching. In this case we used the \texttt{trive} module, which defines our normal, two-color four wave mixing experimental conditions.
+
+Within this work we have represented our data in terms of dimensionless quantities like $\tau/\Delta_t$ and $(\omega-\omega_{10})/\Delta_\omega$. The simulation within NISE was done with choices for each parameter, as tabulated below. These quantities are necessary to fully understand the unprocessed arrays generated by NISE.
+
+\begin{center}
+ \begin{tabular}{r l}
+ $\omega_{10}$ & 7000 $\mathrm{cm}^{-1}$ \\
+ $\mu_{10}$ & 1 \\
+ $\mu_{21}$ & 1 \\
+ $\Gamma_{11}$ & 0 $\mathrm{fs}^{-1}$ \\
+ $\Delta_t$ & 50 fs
+ \end{tabular}
+\end{center}
+
+$\Gamma_{10}$, $\Gamma_{21}$ and $\Gamma_{20}$ were kept equal. Their exact value for a given run of the simulation depends on the $\Gamma_{10}\Delta_t$ quantity as discussed in the paper. We use the term \texttt{dpr} (dephasing pulse ratio) which is the inverse of $\Gamma_{10}\Delta_t$.
+
+In NISE the system parameters are contained within the \texttt{hamiltonian} module, in this case \texttt{H0}. The \texttt{Omega} object contains all of the system attributes you would expect, including the $\overline{\rho}(t)$ (\texttt{dm\_vector}) and $\overline{\overline{Q}}(t)$ (\texttt{gen\_matrix()}) matrices as in \autoref{eq:generic_diff}. The matrix in the software does not account for relaxation and dephasing, that is accounted for directly during the integration. Within \texttt{H0} we actually define two $\overline{\overline{Q}}$ `permutations', one for pathways in which $E_1$ arrives first (\texttt{w1\_first == True}) and one for pathways in which $E_{2^\prime}$ arrives first (\texttt{w1\_first == False}). This separate permutation approach is mathematically identical to the single matrix approach in \autoref{eq:single_Q}, just slightly more computationally expensive. \texttt{H0.Omega} allows you to define which time-orderings are included using the \texttt{TOs} keyword argument. This directly affects how the propagator is assembled, as discussed in \autoref{eq:single_Q_pw1}.
+
+To generate the raw data we calculated the polarization at all coordinates within a four-dimensional experimental array:
+
+\begin{center}
+ \begin{tabular}{c | c | c | c}
+ axis & center & full width & number of points \\ \hline
+ w1 & 7000 & 3000 & 41 \\
+ w2 & 7000 & 3000 & 41 \\
+ d1 & 0 & 400 & 21 \\
+ d2 & 0 & 400 & 21
+ \end{tabular}
+\end{center}
+
+Arrays containing these points were assembled and passed into the \texttt{trive} module. These axes and \texttt{H0} were passed into the \texttt{scan} module for numerical integration. A single output array was saved for each scan. To keep the output array sizes reasonable a separate simulation was done for each $\Gamma_{10}\Delta_t$, time-ordering, and \texttt{d1} value. For each of these simulations we saved one five-dimensional array to an HDF5 file:
+
+\begin{center}
+ \begin{tabular}{c | c | c}
+ index & name & size \\ \hline
+ 0 & w1 & 41 \\
+ 1 & w2 & 41 \\
+ 2 & d2 & 21 \\
+ 3 & permutation & 2 \\
+ 4 & timestep & variable \\
+ \end{tabular}
+\end{center}
+
+The final index `timestep' contains the dependence of the output polarization on lab time. It changes from simulation to simulation to help with computation speed. For each simulation the timetep array is defined by a starting position (always 100 fs before the first pulse arrives) an ending position ($5 \times \tau_{10}$ fs after the last pulse arrives), and a step (4 fs for our longest dephasing time, 2 fs otherwise).
+
+The output polarization is kept as a complex array in the lab frame.
+
+\subsubsection{Measured}
+
+As mentioned in the appendix, we introduce inhomogeneity by convolving the output with a distribution function on the intensity level: `smearing'. This is done in the measurement stage. We store a separate HDF5 file for each combination of \texttt{dpr}, time ordering, and $\Delta_{\text{inhom}}$. Each HDF5 file contains four arrays:
+
+\begin{center}
+ \begin{tabular}{c | c | c}
+ alias & dimensions & shape \\ \hline
+ \texttt{w1} & w1 & \texttt{(41,)} \\
+ \texttt{w2} & w2 & \texttt{(41,)} \\
+ \texttt{d1} & d1 & \texttt{(21,)} \\
+ \texttt{d2} & w2 & \texttt{(21,)} \\
+ \texttt{arr} & w1, w2, d1, d2 & \texttt{(41, 41, 21, 21)}
+ \end{tabular}
+\end{center}
+
+The coordinate arrays are in their native units (fs, $\mathrm{cm}^{-1}$). The signal array is purely real, stored on the intensity level.
+
+We measured the entire simulation space twice, one with and one without the monochromator bandpass filter.
+
+\subsubsection{Representations}
+
+We present many representations of our simulated dataset in this work. The script used to create these figures is \texttt{figures.py}, found in this supplementary information. In some cases some small additional simulation or some pre-processing step was necessary, these can be found in the `precalculated' folder.
