Numerator: |0rangle+|1rangle

∣Ψ(0)⟩=∣0⟩+∣1⟩2⊗∣hin⟩.|\Psi(0)\rangle= \frac{|0\rangle+|1\rangle}{\sqrt 2}\otimes|h_{\rm in}\rangle .
∣0⟩+∣1⟩|0\rangle+|1\rangle

What this part means

The complete quantity above the fraction bar.

Its job in the formula

|0rangle+|1rangle occurs above the fraction bar. The numerator is divided by the entire denominator below it.

The passage around this formula

Begin with an equal superposition of two localized alternatives, ∣Ψ(0)⟩=∣0⟩+∣1⟩2⊗∣hin⟩|\Psi(0)\rangle= \frac{|0\rangle+|1\rangle}{\sqrt 2}\otimes|h_{\rm in}\rangle . The labels zero and one denote paths, not energy eigenstates. After the system’s long-range field interacts with the inaccessible degrees of freedom, an idealized final pure state has the form
