12. Another possible weakening of U is due to the thermal energy fluctuation. To suppress such a noise, we estimate a cryogenic temperature ∼1 K should be used, which is experimentally accessible.

16. The actual statistical distributions depend on the cavity design and fabrication. However, this problem would not influence the main result of our calculation, and could be easily included once the sample is experimentally characterized.
