∣ψ⟩\lvert\psi\rangle

Why this formula appears here

The baseline is the quantum speed limit. For a system with a fixed, time-independent Hamiltonian H evolving from a state ∣\lvertψ\psi⟩\rangle toward any state orthogonal to it, the minimum time required is bounded below by the tight, unified Margolus-Levitin/Mandelstam-Tamm result of Levitin and Toffoli:
