Equation 103 · Part 12 · The Bit Comes Back Before the Bearing

Denominator: f_1delta^2

FQ(t)  ≈  f1 tβ,tG(δ)  ≈  βf1 δ2.F_Q(t) \;\approx\; f_1\,\frac{t}{\beta}, \qquad t_G(\delta) \;\approx\; \frac{\beta}{f_1\,\delta^2}.

What this part means

The complete quantity below the fraction bar; it must be nonzero for this division.

Its job in the formula

f1f_1delta2a^2 occurs below the fraction bar. The quantity above the bar is divided by this expression; zero is excluded as a denominator.

The passage around this formula

a standard identity in quantum metrology [ 12 ] . Before scrambling, this is fixed by how the compass itself was built — a large, well-prepared gyroscope has a large charge variance and a small intrinsic uncertainty on its own heading. After scrambling, that fixed total has to be reconstructed piecemeal from radiation, and each individually emitted quantum, to the extent it is only weakly and independently correlated with g once the hole’s own state is traced over, contributes an addition to the total that adds like an independent sample rather than like a decoded codeword. This is the standard-quantum-limit regime of parameter estimation: for N independent, identically prepared probes each…
