DΛ:=Hf−Λ†(Hc)D_\Lambda := H_f - \Lambda^\dagger(H_c)

Why this formula appears here

That pullback is the object this article is built around: DΛ:=Hf−Λ†(Hc)D_\Lambda := H_f - \Lambda^\dagger(H_c). DΛD_\Lambda is Hermitian on Hf\mathcal H_f — a positive, unital map applied to a self-adjoint input stays self-adjoint — and it carries units of energy, since both terms do. Its state-dependent reading,
