40. For comparison with Petch et al. we need to point out the following technical errors in 7 without consequence on the main claims of this paper: an all over factor (Formula presented) is missing in the right-hand sides of Eqs. (3) and (4) of 7 to match with Eqs. (89101112) and a minus sign in the fifth entry of the lower row of the matrix (Formula presented) in Eq. (16). In Fig. 13 the detuning is scaled in terms of the off-diagonal element (Formula presented)
