AbstractWe investigate the macroscopic quantumness of a set of stateswell approximating the important class of coherent state-encoded Schrödinger cat states. We do so by using two different quantifiers of macroscopic quantumness, finding consistency between the results arising from the two quantifiers, despite the different grounds upon which they are built.

This paper is an enquiry into the circumstances under which entropy and subentropy methods can give an answer to the question of quantum entanglement in the composite state. Using a general quantum dynamical system, we obtain the analytical solution when the atom initially starts from its excited state and the field in different initial states. Different features of the entanglement are investigated when the field is initially assumed to be in a coherent state, an even coherent state (Schrödinger cate state), and a statistical mixture of coherent states. Our results show that the setting of the initial state and the Stark shift play important roles in the evolution of the sub-entropies and entanglement.

AbstractThe coherent superposition of two well separated Gaussian wavepackets, with defects caused by their imperfect preparation, is considered within the phase-space approach based on the Wigner distribution function. This generic state is called the defective Schrödinger cat state due to this imperfection which significantly modifies the interference term. Propagation of this state in the phase space is described by the Moyal equation which is solved for the case of a dispersive medium with a Gaussian barrier in the above-barrier reflection regime. Formally, this regime constitutes conditions for backscattering diffraction phenomena. Dynamical quantumness and the degree of localization in the phase space of the considered state as a function of its imperfection are the subject of the performed analysis. The obtained results allow concluding that backscattering communication based on the defective Schrödinger cat states appears to be feasible with existing experimental capabilities.

The interference pattern in electron double-slit diffraction is a hallmark of quantum mechanics. A long-standing question for stochastic electrodynamics (SED) is whether or not it is capable of reproducing such effects, as interference is a manifestation of quantum coherence. In this study, we used excited harmonic oscillators to directly test this quantum feature in SED. We used two counter-propagating dichromatic laser pulses to promote a ground-state harmonic oscillator to a squeezed Schrödinger cat state. Upon recombination of the two well-separated wavepackets, an interference pattern emerges in the quantum probability distribution but is absent in the SED probability distribution. We thus give a counterexample that rejects SED as a valid alternative to quantum mechanics.

The superposition states of the λ-parameterized squeezed states are introduced and investigated. These states are intermediate states interpolating between the number and Schrödinger cat states and admit algebraic characterization in terms of su(1, 1) algebra. It is shown that these states exhibit remarkable nonclassical properties.
