The passage around this formula

$\Lambda^\dagger$ is positive because $\Lambda$ is completely positive and every $\Lambda(\rho)$ with $\rho$ $\ge$ 0 is itself a valid state; it is unital, $\Lambda^\dagger(I_c)$ = $I_f$ , because $\Lambda$ preserves trace for every input. This duality is the same construction Stinespring used to show that any completely positive map admits a dilation to a larger, unitary description [ 9 ] , and it lets a coarse Hamiltonian be pulled back onto the fine space without the fine space’s own structure ever being disturbed.
