34. The LSMO sample of Ref. is not identical to the LSMO sample presented in this paper. For this reason the transition temperatures slightly differ. However, the optical spectra are so similar that our analysis applies to both samples without reservation.

59. The coherent motion from quantum tunneling with a fixed number of phonons generates a polaron band with bandwidth that decreases exponentially with temperature-for temperature larger than the Debye scale. We do not attempt to identify this polaron band with the low-frequency absorption upturn. Certainly, other mechanisms have to be incorporated to fully deal with the low-energy IR absorption (see, for example, Refs.).
