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
The follow-up result reported a distance-7 surface code with 0.143\% 0.003\% error per cycle of error correction, an error suppression factor of = 2.14 0.02 when increasing the code distance by two, and a logical qubit lifetime exceeding the best physical qubit’s lifetime by a factor of 2.4 0.3 [ 16 ] . That is a memory experiment at a single logical qubit. It is a genuine threshold crossing and it is not a computation.
Learn the underlying idea
An equals sign says that the expression on its left and the expression on its right have the same value under the stated definitions and assumptions.
