What this part means

The expressions on both sides represent the same quantity under the stated assumptions.

Its job in the formula

The equals sign connects the complete expression on the left with the complete expression on the right. Both sides must have compatible units.

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 ,
