21. 2 Dicke model at a finite N has completely different properties than the U(1) model at a finite N and will be presented in a separate publication.
22. In this paper, we study the steady state superradiant phase, which involves the quantum phase transition. It is quite different from the conventional nonequilibrium spontaneous superradiant radiation, which can be understood from a simple Golden rule calculation; see Chap. 6.7 in Y. Yamamoto and A. Imamoglu, Mesoscopic Quantum Optics (John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1999). For the recent advances on the superradiance prepared by single-photon absorption

26. The U(1) Dicke (Tavis-Cummings) model is integrable at any finite N, so, in the "face" value, the system's eigenenergy spectra could be "exactly" solvable by Bethe-ansatz-like methods. For example, see N. M. Bogoliubov, R. K. Bullough, and J. Timonen, J. Phys. A 0305-4470 10.1088/0305-4470/29/19/015 29, 6305 (1996). However, so far, the Bethe-ansatz-like solutions have been at a very "formal" level from which even the system's eigenenergy cannot be obtained analytically, let alone extracting any underlying physics. Furthermore, it is well known that the Bethe ansatz method is not able to get any dynamic correlation functions.

32. We are indebted to B. Halperin and S. Sachdev for stressing the importance of this Berry phase term.
33. The well-studied "phase-diffusion" process of cold-atom BEC always involves a sudden quenching of the Hamiltonians of the system, which leads to collapse and revival in real time. However, the width of the phase distribution increases linearly in the real time t, instead of √ t, so the phrase "phase diffusion" may not be a suitable one in this context. See Eq. 7 and Ref. 18 and for comparisons. See E. M. Wright, D. F. Walls, and J. C. Garrison, Phys. Rev. Lett. PRLTAO 0031-9007 10.1103/PhysRevLett.77.2158 77, 2158 (1996);

38. Note that the classical phase diffusion due to random spontaneous-emission events in a laser is in real time and leads to the natural linewidth of a laser;
39. see Eq. 11.4.8 in M. O. Scully and M. S. Zubairy, Quantum Optics (Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 1997). Because the Berry phase is a completely quantum effect, there is no Berry phase analog in this classical phase-diffusion process.
