Commentary.
For every finite index type, complex square matrix X and real s, the pulse is the interval integral of exp(i r s X) X over 0 <= r <= 1. The matrix product keeps X on the right.

Commentary.
The index type is any finite type, including the empty type. A, B and C are real symmetric square matrices with their actual Frobenius norms at most L, where L is nonnegative; t is positive. No pairwise commutation is assumed.
The same theorem proves D_X(0) = X and, for every nonzero real s, D_X(s) = (exp(i s X) - I)/(i s), even for arbitrary complex X. In the trace bound each real matrix is entrywise complexified; the three pulse factors remain in A, B, C order.
The proof uses the existing GNS Frobenius norm-square trace identity, unitary matrix exponentials, two derivatives of the ordered product, and the nine-term second-derivative estimate. The latter is at most 5 L^5/2; the zero derivative of the real trace at zero gives the 5 L^5 t^2/4 remainder. The quotient identity follows from the interval fundamental theorem of calculus.
