I show that there is no contradiction between the results in my original paper [Phys. Rev. A 65, 022308 (2002)] and Itano's claims in the previous Comment. The error probabilities I calculated from quantum field fluctuations can equivalently be obtained by considering the probability of spontaneous emission by the atom into the field modes that make up the laser pulse.
