The passage around this formula
The baseline is the quantum speed limit. For a system with a fixed, time-independent Hamiltonian H evolving from a state toward any state orthogonal to it, the minimum time required is bounded below by the tight, unified Margolus-Levitin/Mandelstam-Tamm result of Levitin and Toffoli:
