Cat state

In quantum mechanics, the cat state, named after Schrödinger's cat, refers to a quantum state. Generalizing Erwin Schrödinger's thought experiment, a cat state is a quantum superposition of two macroscopically distinct states. A cat state could be of one or more modes or particles, yet not necessarily an entangled state. Such cat states have been…
