What the article says around this equation
Into this old hole go two systems. The first, A , is a two-dimensional qubit prepared in an arbitrary, unknown state and coupled to nothing the hole’s own symmetries track — a spectator, chosen so that its recovery is the cleanest possible test of the Hayden-Preskill mechanism on its own terms. The second, C , is a compass: a physical carrier prepared in a state | that transforms under a one-parameter group of rotations generated by a Hermitian charge , the same charge the hole’s own angular momentum is built from,
