11. It is important to emphasize that the shutter is a device that aids in visualization of the initial condition and hence is not part of the system, i.e., it does not appear as a potential in the Hamiltonian. More general initial conditions can be treated as external perturbation to the potential; see, for example, M. Ya. Azbel, Solid State Commun. 91, 6439 (1994); M. Kleber, Phys. Rep. 236, 331 (1994); 236, 382 (1994).

14. The formalism was originally developed by G. García-Calderón by considering an absorbing shutter as the initial condition: G. García-Calderón and A. Rubio, Phys. Rev. A 55, 3361 (1997). Formulas (1) and (2) were obtained hy J. Villaviceneio fora modified initial condition, the reflecting shutler (J. Villavicencio, Ph.D. thesis, CICESE, México, 2000).
