What this part means

The lower label selects a particular version, component, or indexed member of the quantity. For example, x₀ and xₜ can be values at different positions.

Its job in the formula

A subscript distinguishes a version, component, step, or member of a quantity. It does not automatically mean multiplication.

The passage around this formula

where ⟨\langle H⟩\rangle is the mean energy in the evolving state and E0E_0 is the ground-state energy of H [ 2 , 1 ] . Inverting this gives a maximum rate of orthogonal state changes per unit proper time, 2(⟨\langle H⟩\rangle-E0E_0)/π\piℏ\hbar , and Giovannetti, Lloyd, and Maccone showed that for a periodic evolution this rate integrates cleanly: a system with mean energy ⟨\langle H⟩\rangle-E0E_0 above its ground state can pass through at most
