An approximate quantum Hamiltonian identification algorithm is presented with the assumption that the system initial state and observation matrix can be set appropriately. We sample the system with a fixed period and using the sampled data we estimate the Hamiltonian based on a Taylor expansion of the matrix exponential function. We prove the estimation error is linear in the variance of the additive Gaussian noise. We also propose a heuristic formula to find the order of magnitude of the optimal sampling period. Two numerical examples are presented to validate the theoretical results.An approximate quantum Hamiltonian identification algorithm is presented with the assumption that the system initial state and observation matrix can be set appropriately.
