Erratum to “Dynamics of the normal-superconductor phase transition and the puzzle of the Meissner effect” [Ann. Physics 362 (2015) 1–23].

The paper contains several incorrect statements related to the fact that the key issues of reversibility of the normal-superconductor transition [1] and the hole-like nature of the normal charge carriers [2] were not properly recognized. Even though these issues were clarified in subsequent publications [3,4] , we believe it should be useful for the reader that we clarify here which of the statements in this paper are incorrect.
