COMMENTS
[General discussion]: Consider the 2^N numbers with N-digit binary expansion. Let a pair (v,w), here called a "transition", be such that there are exactly k+q digits which are '0' in v and '1' in w, and exactly k digits which are '1' in v and '0' in w. Then T(q;N,k) is the number of all such pairs.
For given N and q, the rows of the triangle T(q;N,k) sum up to Sum[k]T(q;N,k) = C(2N,N-q) which is the total number of q-quantum transitions or, equivalently, the number of pairs in which the sum of binary digits of w exceeds that of v by exactly q (see Crossrefs).
The terminology stems from the mapping of the i-th digit onto quantum states of the i-th particle (-1/2 for digit '0', +1/2 for digit '1'), the numbers onto quantum states of the system, and the pairs onto quantum transitions between states. In magnetic resonance (NMR) the most intense transitions are the single-quantum ones (q=1) with k=0, called "main transitions", while those with k>0, called "combination transitions", tend to be weaker. Zero-, double- and, in general, q-quantum transitions are detectable by special techniques.
[Specific case]: This sequence is for single-quantum transitions (q = 1). It lists the flattened triangle T(1;N,k), with rows N = 1,2,... and columns k = 0..floor((N-1)/2).

FORMULA
Set q = 1 in: T(q;N,k) = 2^(N-q-2*k)*binomial(N,k)*binomial(N-k,q+k).
T(n, k) = n! * [y^(n-2*k-1)] [x^n] exp(2*x*y)*BesselI(1, 2*x). - Peter Luschny, May 12 2021
EXAMPLE
T(1;3,1) = 3 because the only transitions compatible with q=1,k=1 are (001,110),(010,101),(100,011).
