25. For instance, the powers of the number operator may be expressed in terms of normally ordered (s=1) Cahill-Glauber products as ((Formula presented)a(Formula presented)=(Formula presented)(Formula presented)(Formula presented)(Formula presented), where the (Formula presented)'s are given by Kelley [C. S. Kelley, Phys. Rev. B 20, 3221 (1979)].

31. Apparently there is a misprint in the first line of Table IV of Zhang et al. 26. The term (Formula presented)Βtsinh |Β|/|Β| should be multiplied with cosh |Β| to give the correct moments.
32. To express ((Formula presented)a(Formula presented) in terms of A and (Formula presented) is only practically feasible if k is low as in this case. In general, such a procedure is rather cumbersome.
33. In the famous Jaynes-Cummings model, E. T. Jaynes and F. W. Cummings, Proc. IEEE 51, 89 (1963), a two-level atom interacts with a single mode of the quantized radiation field through dipole interaction (for a contemporary review, see also 34).

36. The power of the CF method rests on the fact that derivatives are easily computed using symbolic manipulation software like, e.g., MAPLE V. In some cases the derivatives can even be evaluated by standard numerical techniques.
