We demonstrate that superpositions of coherent states and displaced Fock states, also referred to as generalized Schr\"odinger cat states, can be generated by application of a deformed Glauber displacement operator on number states, coherent states, and displaced Fock states. Based on such a deformed displacement operator we introduce a deformed version of the so-called Glauber photonic lattices. These novel lattices are endowed with alternating positive and negative coupling coefficients and give rise to classical analogs of Schr\"odinger cat states. Finally, we show that the analytic propagator of these new Glauber-Fock arrays explicitly contains the Wigner operator opening the possibility to emulate Wigner functions of the quantum harmonic oscillator in the classical domain.

Time-dependent Wigner distribution function employed in coherent Schrödinger cat states: |Ψ(t)⟩=N−1/2(|α⟩+eiφ|-α⟩)

Jeong Ryeol Choi, Kyu Hwang Yeon

The Wigner distribution function for the time-dependent quadratic Hamiltonian system in the coherent Schrodinger cat state is investigated. The type of state we consider is a superposition of two coherent states, which are by an angle of π out of phase with each other. The exact Wigner distribution function of the system is evaluated under a particular choice of phase, δc, q. Our development is employed for two special cases, namely, the Caldirola–Kanai oscillator and the frequency stable damped harmonic oscillator. On the basis of the diverse values of the Wigner distribution function that were plotted, we analyze the nonclassical behavior of the systems.
