12. Note that there is a qualitative difference between the system we consider and the system Korotkov considers in Ref. 9, since the latter is a measurement of a QND observable. However, the formalism employed there is quite general in that it can be used to describe a measurement of any observable, which is why our equations have the same form as those derived by Korotkov.
