Theorem 1
Let $\mathcal{H}$ and $\mathcal{K}$ be finite dimensional Hilbert spaces and let $A\in \mathcal{L}(\mathcal{K})$ and $B\in\mathcal{L}(\mathcal{H})$ with $\sigma(A)\cap\sigma(B)=\emptyset$. Then for every $Y\in \mathcal{L}(\mathcal{H},\mathcal{K})$ there exists a unique $X\in\mathcal{L}(\mathcal{H},\
