Generation of Superpositions of Squeezed Coherent States
Zheng Shi-Biao, Guo Guang-Can · Chinese Physics Letters · 1997
A scheme to prepare superpositions of squeezed coherent states is presented. It involves an appropriately prepared atom crossing a high- Q cavity initially filled with a squeezed coherent field. After the nonresonant interaction with the cavity field the detection of the atomic state leaves the cavity field in a superposition of two squeezed coherent states.
