The passage around this formula

…for this paper flags something the two equations above do not, by themselves, settle: the periodic-evolution bound above was derived for a Hamiltonian with a genuinely time-independent spectrum. A real computation drives H(τ\tau) through a sequence of different instantaneous Hamiltonians, one per gate, and nothing guarantees in advance that a chain of instantaneously applied bounds sums to a valid bound on the whole chain. The condition that licenses treating N⊥N_\perp[Γ\Gamma] as a legitimate partition into…
