17. Other choices of the initial state are possible as well. Different input states of mode b then correspond to different input states of the pointer of a measuring apparatus.
18. In the regime of very large κ, however, the coupled mode theory breaks down and some other experimental realization of the Hamiltonian (1) should be found.
19. The possibility of the existence of an observable playing a role similar to the phase in Ref. [4], and yielding some information about the place of down-conversion is not excluded, though; A. Luis (private communication).
