Nonclassical properties and generation of quantum superpositions of two coherent states
Anna Napoli, ANTONINO MESSINA
Nonclassical properties of a particular class of quantum superpositions of two coherent states of a single-mode quantized electromagnetic field are brought to light and discussed. A new and simple way of engineering such states is presented. Our proposal, developed in the context of micromaser theory, exploits the passage of one atom only through a high- Q bimodal cavity supporting two electromagnetic modes of different frequencies.
