Quantum Superposition States of Bose-Einstein Condensates

Quantum Physics 2009-10-30 v1

Abstract

We propose a scheme to create a macroscopic ``Sch\"odinger cat'' state formed by two interacting Bose condensates. In analogy with quantum optics, where the control and engineering of quantum states can be maintained to a large extend, we consider the present scheme to be an example of quantum atom optics at work.
