19. For simplicity we consider only the case of (Formula presented) here, which corresponds to the consideration of the dynamics in the rotating frame with angular frequency (Formula presented) so does not lose generality.

30. Although the linearly polarized light can be decomposed into (Formula presented) and (Formula presented) polarized photons, a vacuum fluctuation perpendicular to the probe laser polarization is added, and thus (Formula presented) is not squeezed initially.
31. To get longer interaction time, one can use a blue-detuned dipole force trap with a doughnut beam where the atoms are almost free from the dressing due to the trapping beams. T. Kuga, Y. Torii, N. Shiokawa, T. Hirano, Y. Shimizu, and H. Sasada, Phys. Rev. Lett. 78, 4713 (1997).
