10. We drop the superscripts (k) whenever convenient. As each signal-idler mode pair is identical and undergoes identical channel transformation, there is no ambiguity.

13. A loose lower bound on the error probability is available in. As the Chernoff bound is asymptotically tight in error exponent to the optimal receiver's performance as M→∞, we focus only on the upper bound in this paper.
14. A different ε with NS/NB ε2 1/ NB works as well.
