What this part means
The expressions on both sides represent the same quantity under the stated assumptions.
Its job in the formula
The equals sign connects the complete expression on the left with the complete expression on the right. Both sides must have compatible units.

The passage around this formula
a quantity in seconds (or, equivalently, in units of ), invariant under the group action because both of its terms are. Two limits recover ordinary, unconstrained Hayden-Preskill behavior exactly, as any honest extension of that result has to. Remove the conservation law — set = 0 — and there is no eigenspace structure left for a heading to hide behind; whatever continuous label survives becomes an ordinary classical parameter encoded in radiation no differently than the qubit’s own logical content, and . Alternatively, keep the conservation law but grant the two parties an unlimited, pre-shared external reference frame: Kitaev, Mayers, and Preskill’s simulation…
