12. Note that unity and cos in the denominator in Eq. have the same sign, in agreement with Ref. 11. To obtain the correct sign, it is important to calculate the matrix element of the time-dependent perturbation in Eq. 8, rather than the matrix element of the tunneling Hamiltonian itself, as was done in A.
