Correction to: Scientific Reports https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-020-62144-2, published online 29 April 2020
This Article contains errors in Figures 1 and 4. In Figure 1, some of the curves are incorrect due to a change in
the behaviour of the function « HarmonicNumber » in Mathematica since the figure was created in 2015. In
Figure 4, the curves have not been normalised as stated in the legend, leading to scaling change in the y-axis.
The correct Figures 1 and 4 appear below as Figures 1 and 2 respectively.

(plain line), n = − 5/4 (dot-dashed line), n = − 3/2 (dashed line), n = − 7/4 (dotted line) and n = − 2 (plain line).
The zeros of each curve read η = 2√−e where e ∈ Sω, with ω = − gb(n), as explained further on. The curves
seem to form pairs corresponding to (n, n + 1), in particular, one could believe that each pair intersects on the
η-axis (abscissa), but this is wrong, except for (n, n + 1) = (− 2, − 1) which correspond to the same Rydberg set
S∞. All the other intersections are only close to zero, so that, indeed, S−gb (n) �= S−gb (n+1). η = n is missing,
because �ϕ− |ϕ− � � = 0.
