29. 1. An equal superposition occurs regardless of the lattice switch-on time; however, it is convenient to rapidly switch on the lattice so that the phase between the eigenstates does not evolve significantly before the desired lattice depth is reached.

31. The tapered amplifier laser arrangement in [30] has been replaced by an injection-locking scheme, and atoms are now continuously transferred in the double magneto-optical trap (MOT) arrangement.
