In a previous Letter [Opt. Lett. 38, 1373 (2013)], we erroneously claimed that our demonstration of a fast, continuously controllable nonlinear Kerr phase gate was the first of its kind. That mistake is rectified here. © 2013 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (190.0190) Nonlinear optics; (270.5585) Quantum information and processing. http://dx.doi.org/10.1364/OL.38.005409
We should not have claimed that [1] was the first experimental demonstration of a fast, zero to π continuously controllable nonlinear Kerr phase gate. The first demonstration of this phenomenon was presented in [2].
