What the article says around this equation
A coarse description reports less. It is built from a completely positive, trace-preserving map , a quantum channel sending fine states to coarse states, together with a coarse Hilbert space and a Hermitian coarse Hamiltonian on it. The simplest case is the partial trace over the bath, = [] with = ; nothing below depends on that particular choice, and a passive relabeling built from no discarding at all, treated next, is a channel too.
