Generalized Schrödinger cat states and their classical emulation

Abstract: We demonstrate that superpositions of coherent and displaced Fock states, also referred to as generalized Schrödinger cats cats, can be created by application of a nonlinear displacement operator which is a deformed version of the Glauber displacement operator. Consequently, such generalized cat states can be formally considered as nonlinear coherent states. We then show that Glauber-Fock photonic lattices endowed with alternating positive and negative coupling coefficients give rise to classical analogs of su… Show more

“…Here, it is important to note that in contrast to the Fock states, the coherent states are the quantum states whose statistical behavior most resemble the classical one, this has generated considerable interest in using micro-mirrors for the generation of coherent mechanical states or even superposition of them if such micro-mirrors can be cooled to their quantum ground states [ 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 ].…”

“…Even though, to the authors' best knowledge, no realization of such an operation with optical means has been presented so far, the theory of f -deformed oscillators has been investigated quite thoroughly (see, for example, Refs. [27][28][29][30]). It thus seems much more reasonable to assume that an operation like C(gβ) will be available at some point, compared to that defined by Eq.…”

“…Experimental realizations of Laguerre type generalized coherent states using the behavior of a beamsplitter with a specific geometry are explored in [23]. They also appear in the realization of a quantum oscillator consisting of a trapped ion in [27].The realization of generalized coherent states have also been investigated in photonic lattices [28,29].…”
