Hello,
there is a very simple solution to this:
Eigenvalues[N[q4 + h0]]
Reason: If you want to use numerical algorithms as most likely
the other system does automatically (because it doesen't know better),
then you need to give numerical input to the function Eigenvalues.
Unlike most other systems, Mathematica is smart enough to
chose different algorithms depending on the input it receives.

For smaller matrices it works ok, but for larger matrices it's just too slow. I tried writing the code in another system and it finds eigenvalues very quickly (in a second or two at most) even for big matrices. I'm not sure whether am I doing something wrong or is the speed difference really this big.
