33. For ImΘ0, we have | m- | <1< | m+ | or | m+ | <1< | m- |. Multiplication of many transfer matrices is therefore numerically ill conditioned: Important variables can take on different orders of magnitude and are then added together. In numerical calculations in mesoscopic physics it can therefore be advisable to fall back to the scattering matrix. For the transfer matrices in our case, usually | ImΘ | is of the order of Imζ, and as normally | NImζ | <1 (required so that absorption does not alter the asymmetry too much throughout the sample), these numerical issues do not concern us.

39. Note that the fluctuations of this force, arising from the spontaneous emission accompanying absorption, lead to a heating of the cloud, which limits the time scale of experiments. We come back to this issue in Sec. 7.

41. The color coding and slashed lines denoting the regimes of stability come in fact from the analytical calculations detailed in Sec. 5, and not directly from simulations themselves (the computational cost is only linear with N, but simulations with N= 106 are still impractical). Therefore they correspond to stability with respect to infinitesimal perturbations. As such, they have been checked via simulation and seen to be correct several times, as illustrated in the examples in Figs. 9 10.
42. In fact, the derivation of Eq. 62 is not valid for symmetric pumping, and therefore one must use a different approach. However, as we show in Eq. 9, a mathematically sound procedure also leads to Eq. 63.
