21. This assumption does not induce any loss of generality: the following discussion would also apply to any mode of the Hermite-Gauss basis, and thus to any wave function by linearity.
22. This equation can also be interpreted as a generalized optical path in five dimensions. This formalism is presented in C. J. Bordé, Proceedings of the Enrico Fermi International School of Physics, 2007 (Academic, New York, 2007), Vol. 168

24. In the configuration of Fig. 2, the two pulse pairs are performed successively, which maximizes the interferometric area for a fixed interferometer duration; one could nonetheless also let a finite time between them.
