Equation 43 · Part 1 · The Bit Comes Back Before the Bearing

Symbol delta

δ\delta
δ\delta

What this part means

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

Its job in the formula

delta is a part of this expression. Its role is fixed by the surrounding article and by the operations shown in the formula.

Where the article explains it

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

The passage around this formula

FQF_Q is the quantum Fisher information of the radiation’s reduced state with respect to g ; it carries units of g−2g^{-2} , i.e. inverse radians squared, and since g is already dimensionless, FQF_Q is a pure number. δ\delta is the alignment tolerance the observer has decided to demand, also in radians, and tG(δ)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 that it is the correct floor no circuit can beat.
