28. We have inverted the direction of the raising operator as well as the sign of L with respect to Ref. This does not change the expression for the Hamiltonian in terms of angular momentum operators.

33. A mechanical coherent state will be general by displacing, with an intense laser field, the ground state of a cantilever. This is a realistic expectation: current state of the art experiments are only a few quanta away from such an achievement.
