35. Red detuned lasers would lead to heating of the center-of-mass motion, bringing the system out of the regime of interest in this paper.
36. 2 are sufficiently different such that at a certain bandwidth the detector measures the resonance fluorescence of the light scattered by one dipole transition. This assumption simplifies the notations, and the treatment suffers no loss of generality.
37. Due to the non-Hermiticity of the Liouville operator ℒ, a complete set of eigenelements may not exist. In our case, the basis sets are complete, see Ref. [24] and H. Risken, The Fokker-Planck Equation (Springer-Verlag, Berlin, 1989).
