The passage around this formula

Because HSBH_{SB} conserves total excitation number, the dynamics starting from a single excitation stays confined to the two-dimensional subspace spanned by |e,g⟩\rangle (system excited, bath in its ground state) and |g,e⟩\rangle (the reverse). On resonance, both basis states carry the same bare energy, +ℏ\hbarω\omega/2 - ℏ\hbarω\omega/2 = 0 , so HfH_f restricted to this subspace is proportional to the swap operator between the two, and the Schrödinger equation solves in closed form. Starting from |ψ(0)\psi(0)⟩\rangle = |e,g⟩\rangle ,
