We carry out probabilistic phase-space sampling of mesoscopic Schr\"odinger cat quantum states, demonstrating multipartite Bell violations for up to 60 qubits. We use states similar to those generated in photonic and ion-trap experiments.…

We propose a high-rate generation method of optical Schr\"{o}dinger's cat states. Thus far, photon subtraction from squeezed vacuum states has been a standard method in cat-state generation, but its constraints on experimental parameters…

The entangled "Schrodinger's cat state" of a quantum and its measurement apparatus is not a paradoxical superposition of states but is instead a non-paradoxical superposition of nonlocal coherent correlations between states: An un-decayed…

We suggest a variant of the recently proposed experiment for the generation of a new kind of Schroedinger-cat states, using two coupled parametric down-converter nonlinear crystals [F. De Martini, Phys. Rev. Lett. 81, 2842 (1998)]. We study…

We study the possibility to create many-particle Schr\"odinger cat-like states by using a Feshbach resonance to reverse the sign of the scattering length of a Bose-Einstein condensate trapped in a double-well potential. To address the issue…

State reconstruction for quantum spins is reviewed. Emphasis is on non-tomographic approaches which are based on measurements performed with a Stern-Gerlach apparatus. Two consequences of successfully implemented state reconstruction are…

We demonstrate that superpositions of coherent and displaced Fock states, also referred to as generalized Schr\"odinger cats cats, can be created by application of a nonlinear displacement operator which is a deformed version of the Glauber…

We present a scheme of generating large-amplitude Schr\"{o}dinger cat states and entanglement in a coupled system of nanomechanical resonator and single Cooper pair box (SCPB), without being limited by the magnitude of the coupling. It is…

Understanding the mechanisms of qubit decoherence is a crucial prerequisite for improving the qubit performance. In this work we discuss the effects of residual Bogolyubov quasiparticles in Schr\"odinger cat qubits, either of the…

We propose a scheme for implementing cross Kerr nonlinearity between two superconducting transmission line resonators (TLR) via their interaction with a coupler which is constructed by two superconducting charge qubits connected to each…

In the quantum mechanics of collision problems we must consider scattering states of the system. For these states, the wave functions do not remain in Hilbert space, but they are expressible in terms of generalized functions of a Gel'fand…

By applying a microwave drive to a specially designed Josephson circuit, we have realized an elementary quantum optics model, the squeezed Kerr oscillator. This model displays, as the squeezing amplitude is increased, a cross-over from a…

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…

The quantum metrological performance of spin coherent states superposition is considered, and conditions for measurements with the Heisenberg-limit (HL) precision are identified. It is demonstrated that the choice of the…

We investigate the quantum properties of a nonlinear Kerr oscillator driven by a three-photon pump. We derive both exact and approximate analytical expressions for the ground state of this interacting model. The exact solution arises at an…

In this paper we re-investigate the core of Schroedinger's 'cat paradox'. We argue that one has to distinguish clearly between superpositions of macroscopic cat states and superpositions of entangled states which comprise both the state of…

We study the nonclassicality of the evolution of a superposition of an arbitrary number of photon-added squeezed coherent Schr\"{o}dinger cat states in a nonlinear Kerr medium. The nonlinearity of the medium gives rise to the periodicities…

We propose a scheme to engineer Schr\"{o}dinger-cat states of propagating optical pulses. Multi-dimensional and multi-partite cat states can be generated simply by reflecting coherent optical pulses successively from a single-atom cavity.…

We propose a fast scheme to generate Schr\"odinger cat states in a superconducting resonator using a continuously driven qubit without resorting to the dispersive regime, two-photon drives, or engineered two-photon dissipation. We provide…

Schr\"odinger's cat puzzle is resolved. The reason why we do not see a macroscopic superposition of states is cleared in the light of Everett's formulation of quantum mechanics.
