26. We note that this delay is slightly different from that inferred from Ref., which assumes a Lorentzian resonance rather than an EIT line shape derived from a ̂ system. This approximation systematically underestimates the delay compared to EIT.
27. We used a model similar to that in J. Vanier, M. W. Levine, D. Janssen, and M. Delaney, Phys. Rev. A 67, 065801 (2003). 10.1103/PhysRevA.67.065801
