11. This can be understood from the fact that the contribution to the level spacing of the Fock states from the l2 term in hint is Nx, Ny l 2 Nx, Ny =N+ [N2 - (Nx - Ny) 2] 2, and thus the situation is essentially the same as that considered by A. Imamolu, M. Lewenstein, and L. You, Phys. Rev. Lett. PRLTAO 0031-9007 10.1103/PhysRevLett.78.2511 78, 2511 (1997)
