49. Properly arranged matter-light interactions, in the regime of electromagnetically induced transparency, can produce a cross-phase modulation with huge nonlinear rates [see M. Paternostro, M. S. Kim, and B. S. Ham, Phys. Rev. A PLRAAN 1050-2947 10.1103/PhysRevA.67.023811 67, 023811 (2003) for a protocol which generates entangled coherent states]. However, as far as the authors are concerned, there has not been a satisfactory experimental implementation yet.
50. This argument can be pictorially understood by geometrical considerations in the phase-space analogous to those done, for instance, in Ref..

65. Some advantages, in looking for an analytical expression for the eigenvalues come from the fact that, for φ=π, G1 =- H1, and G2 - F2, which considerably simplify the expression of ∫ d2 PMth (V,d) ρψ (τ).
