Write $|{\varphi }_A⟩={\sum }_j{c}_j|j{⟩}_A$ and choose the conjugate index vectorWith $|{\tilde{\Psi }}_{AB}⟩=\sqrt{d}|{\Psi }_{AB}⟩={\sum }_j|j{⟩}_A|j{⟩}_B$, the partial inner product givesThis is the relative state construction. The coefficient conjugation is defined relative to the fixed paired bases; it is essential, because the bra conjugates those coefficients again. Using the normalized entangled vector instead would give $|{\varphi }_A⟩/\sqrt{d}$.

The linear operator $M_A$ acts on the first factor, while the partial inner product acts on the second. They therefore commute in the contraction:Thus the operated vector is exactly the relative state obtained from the operated bipartite vector using the same conjugate index vector. For a physical normalized pure state, divide by $\Vert M_A{\varphi }_A\Vert$ when that norm is nonzero. If $M_A{\varphi }_A=0$, the vector identity still holds, but there is no normalized output state for that zero-probability branch. An arbitrary operator is not assumed unitary or norm preserving.

Use the unnormalized Choi matrix $J(\Phi )=(\Phi \otimes \mathrm{id})(|\tilde{\Psi }⟩⟨\tilde{\Psi }|)$, which has trace $d$ for a channel. A positive such matrix has a spectral decomposition with vectors $v_k=\sqrt{{\lambda }_k}{u}_k$. In paired bases define the Kraus operator $A_k$ by $(A_k{)}_{ij}=(v_k{)}_{ij}$, so $v_k=(A_k\otimes I){\sum }_j|j⟩|j⟩$. Partial contraction with a conjugate index vector gives $A_k|\varphi ⟩$, hence $\Phi (|\varphi ⟩⟨\varphi |)={\sum }_k{A}_k|\varphi ⟩⟨\varphi |A_k^{†}$. Rank-one projectors span the operator space, proving the Kraus representation on all inputs. Trace preservation is equivalent to ${\sum }_k{A}_k^{†}{A}_k=I$. This construction needs at most $\mathrm{rank}J$ nonzero Kraus operators.
