Response to Comment on "Quantum State Transfer Between Matter and Light"

The comment by van Enk and Kimble ([ 1 ][1]) does not challenge the principal result of our study ([ 2 ][2])—that we achieved quantum state transfer from an atomic qubit to a photonic qubit. They also do not challenge our quantitative measurement of that transfer ([ 2 ][2]). We used the ratio of
