Chatted about this IRL. I think this is a "won't fix" issue. Motivations:
user_estimate
. As such there isn't a huge amount of value to be had in getting an accurate heuristic hereGiven the above, this feels out of scope for ionics_fits
and is best handled by users giving the fit an initial guess
When we probe two-qubit gate dynamics, we typically start by scanning the gate detuning over a wide range, such that the scan contains the line of symmetry (where mode is driven on resonance). In this case, the![image](https://github.com/OxIonics/ionics_fits/assets/18437684/849ffe62-1669-4756-8310-73df45cf70d2)

method works fine because it looks for the symmetry point. However, sometimes we also just scan the gate detuning over a narrower range around the loop closure. In this case, the fit gives garbage, see below for an example.For now, I'm handling this issue by specifying a user estimate for
w_0
manually depending on the scan range. If we can think of a simple heuristic that helps with this, probably worth adding to the estimation procedure directly rather than relying on the user.
