What this part means

Divide the expression above the line by the one below it.

Its job in the formula

The expression above the fraction bar is divided by the complete expression below it. The denominator must not be zero.

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…
