What this part means

the define.

Its job in the formula

Lambdada^dagger is part of the quantity the equation computes from the expression on the right.

Where the article explains it

Define Λ†\Lambda^\dagger: B(Hc)\mathcal B(\mathcal H_c) →\to B(Hf)\mathcal B(\mathcal H_f) by the pairing that must hold for every fine state and every coarse observable OcO_c , Tr\mathrm{Tr}[\big[Λ(ρ)\Lambda(\rho)\,OcO_c]\big] = Tr\mathrm{Tr}[\big[ρ\rho\,Λ†(Oc)\Lambda^\dagger(O_c)]\big].

The passage around this formula

…every density matrix are the same operator — the strongest statement follows at once: Δ\Delta EΛ(ρ)E_\Lambda(\rho) = 0 for every fine state ρ\rho if and only if DΛD_\Lambda = 0 as an operator identity, that is, if and only if Λ†(Hc)\Lambda^\dagger(H_c) = HfH_f exactly. Energy is preserved for every possible input under that one algebraic condition, never as a statistical tendency and never approximately.

An exponent tells how a base is used in multiplication. In x³, x is the base and 3 is the exponent: x³ = x × x × x.
