Equation 37 · Part 6 · The Bit Comes Back Before the Bearing

Symbol delta

\operatorname{Var}\hat g \;\ge\; \frac{1}{F_Q\big[\rho_{\mathrm{rad}}(g)\big]}, \qquad t_G(\delta) \;=\; \min\Big\{\,t : \operatorname{Var}\hat g\big|_{R\cup C_t} \le \delta^2\,\Big\}.

\delta

What this part means

the alignment tolerance the observer has decided to demand, also in radians, and $t_G(\delta)$ has units of time [ 12 ].

Its job in the formula

delta is an argument of the function-like quantity on the left; its role is set by that function’s stated inputs.

Where the article explains it

$\delta$ is the alignment tolerance the observer has decided to demand, also in radians, and $t_G(\delta)$ has units of time [ 12 ] .

The passage around this formula

…formula]. $F_Q$ is the quantum Fisher information of the radiation’s reduced state with respect to g ; it carries units of $g^{-2}$ , i.e. inverse radians squared, and since g is already dimensionless, $F_Q$ is a pure number. $\delta$ is the alignment tolerance the observer has decided to demand, also in radians, and $t_G(\delta)$ has units of time [ 12 ] . This bound is achievable asymptotically by the symmetric logarithmic derivative measurement; nothing here claims it is achieved by any specific realizable circuit, only…
