Use the unnormalized Choi matrixIt is positive because ${\Phi }_A$ is a completely positive map. Take its spectral decomposition, absorbing square roots of nonzero eigenvalues into the vectors:Expand $|v_k⟩={\sum }_{i,j}{v}_{k,ij}|i{⟩}_A|j{⟩}_B$ and define the Kraus operator $A_k$ by $(A_k{)}_{ij}=v_{k,ij}$. Equivalently,The preceding relative state identity then gives $(I\otimes ⟨{\varphi }_B^{\ast }|)v_k=A_k{\varphi }_A$. Inserting the spectral decomposition into the stated reconstruction identity yieldsThe conjugated index vector is required here; it is present in the PDF but missing in the converted TeX version of this identity.

Rank-one projectors span all operators by polarization. Explicitly, putting $P(w)=|w⟩⟨w|$ givesThus linearity extends the equality to every $X\in \mathcal{B}({\mathcal{H}}_A)$:Finally trace preservation and cyclicity of the trace giveFor pure-projector inputs this says the Hermitian operator ${\sum }_k{A}_k^{†}{A}_k-I$ has zero expectation on every vector, so it vanishes. ThereforeThis is the spectral Kraus decomposition. Using a normalized Choi state $J_{\Phi }/d$ instead would require the extra factor $\sqrt{d}$ when reshaping its eigenvectors into Kraus operators.
