For the specified model, let be any density matrix on , and take . There is a unique density matrix satisfying
Writing , the full state is exactly
In particular,
The default preparation corresponds to .
Proof. Tracing (eq:R) gives , with initial trace one, hence . Equation (eq:p) gives . For finite , , and substituting gives (eq:S). This conditional equation is itself GKSL:
Thus it has a unique physical solution. The reconstructed state satisfies the full equation and initial condition, so uniqueness proves the identity.
