19. We shall use the term "master equation" as a synonym for master equation for the full reduced density matrix, in order to contrast this equation to the rate equation, which only concerns the density matrix's diagonal elements.

22. As the source electrode is defined to be the one with the higher chemical potential, this notation is independent of the sign of the bias voltage.
