Symbol t

∣ψ(t)⟩=cos⁡(gt) ∣e,g⟩−isin⁡(gt) ∣g,e⟩,|\psi(t)\rangle = \cos(gt)\,|e,g\rangle - i\sin(gt)\,|g,e\rangle,
tt

What this part means

t is an argument of the function-like quantity on the left; its role is set by that function’s stated inputs.

Its job in the formula

The passage around this formula

…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 , ∣ψ(t)⟩=cos⁡(gt) ∣e,g⟩−isin⁡(gt) ∣g,e⟩|\psi(t)\rangle = \cos(gt)\,|e,g\rangle - i\sin(gt)\,|g,e\rangle. the standard two-level exchange solution, exact for all t under this Hamiltonian. From it, ⟨\langle HSH_S ⟩(t)\rangle(t) = (ℏ\hbarω\omega/2)[cos⁡2(gt)\cos^2(gt) - sin⁡2(gt)\sin^2(gt)] = (ℏ\hbarω\omega/2)cos⁡(2gt)\cos(2gt) , while ⟨\langle HfH_f ⟩\rangle is exactly time-independent — a general fact for any state evolving under its own generator, not special to this one — and equal here to…
