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

under the relevant regularity and unbiasedness conditions. The variance has squared-coordinate units, so FQF_Q has inverse-squared-coordinate units. Paris’s review emphasizes that quantum estimation is an optimization problem over measurements and explains the symmetric-logarithmic-derivative construction used to calculate the bound [ 10 ] .
