26. We note that our choice of initial states contains the vacuum and so we must restrict our nonlinear unitary transformation to k>0.
27. Our initial states are not the usual superposition of coherent states that one typically thinks of for use in quantum metrology (they generally have the form |-α+|α). These states were, however, used as logical qubits in certain quantum computation circuits [see T. C. Ralph, W. J. Munro, and G. J. Milburn, Proc. SPIE PSISDG 0277-786X 10.1117/12.483016 4917, 1 (2002);

In some aspects they are like the original paradoxical Schrödinger cat state, but they are also different from the state most commonly (but not always) meant by "cat state" in the literature.
