Pure states are usually used to observe quantum phenomena. In this study, we show that a quantum superposition of spatially displaced mixed cat states can be generated within an optical waveguide via nonparaxial unitary evolution of the…

We discuss the fate of initial states of the cat type for the damped harmonic oscillator, mostly employing a linear version of the stochastic Schr\"odinger equation. We also comment on how such cat states might be prepared and on the…

The quantum state of Schroedinger's cat is usually incorrectly described as a superposition of "dead" and "alive," despite an argument by Rinner and Werner that, locally, the cat should be considered to be in a mixture of non-superposed…

Polarization properties of optical field in Schr\"odinger Cat states or Even- or Odd-Coherent states are investigated by generalizing usual concept of optical-polarization to render the concept of Higher-order optical-polarization. It is…

Arguments have been raised that the system--observer cut of quantum mechanics can be shifted arbitrarily close to, or even into, the conscious observer. Here I show that this view leads to {\it observable} contradictions (despite our…

Generalized cat states represent arbitrary superpositions of coherent states, which are of great importance in various quantum information processing protocols. Here we demonstrate a versatile approach to creating generalized itinerant cat…

We give some arguments to evaluate the "size" of Schrodinger cat for the flux qubit, which has really different results from ref.[1] Korsbakken et al. [1] J.Korsbakken,F.K.Wilhelm and K.B.Whaley,Physics Scripta T137,014022 (2009)

The kinematical foundations of Schwinger's algebra of selective measurements were discussed in a previous paper (arXiv:1905.12274) and, as a consequence of this, a new picture of quantum mechanics based on groupoids was proposed. In this…

The cat state is shown to `store' a single photon through the superposition of its orthogonal counterpart with itself, and an excited oscillator state. Photon addition leads to a $\pi $ phase shift at origin in the observed phase space…
