W†W=IW^\dagger W = I

Why this formula appears here

using only W†W^\dagger W = I . So DΛD_\Lambda = HfH_f - HfH_f = 0 , identically, as an operator, for every unitary W and every HfH_f . This is not a limit, an approximation, or a property of some special state; it is an algebraic identity that holds before any state is chosen at all.
