Generation of a coherent superposition state on demand
Abstract
We propose an experimentally feasible scheme to generate a superposition of travelling field coherent states using extremely small Kerr effect and an ancilla which could be a single photon or two entangled twin photons. The scheme contains ingredients which are all within the current state of the art and is robust against the main sources of errors which can be identified in our setups.
