Let be an isometry, let be a fixed normalized ancillary state, and let be unitary on the complete physical input space. Then

is an isometry. Its complete channel has the CPTP left inverse

For every trace-class , including operators on a code–reference space,

For the Bell input, the complete output satisfies

Proof. The composition gives . The two terms in (eq:restore) are completely positive. Their traces sum to , and .

An isometric embedding preserves nonzero singular values, proving the trace-norm identity. For the Bell input, the complete output is pure with equal Schmidt coefficients. Its reduced entropies are both , and the joint entropy is zero.
