- Title:
- Quantum kittens, cats, combs and compasses: superposing coherent states for sensing, computing and pleasure
- Description:
-
Superpositions of coherent states, which have minimum uncertainty and follow, at least transiently, classical motion, constitute codes for quantum computing including quantum error correction are advantageous for quantum sensing and metrology. I present a potted history of this field followed by our nuclear cat-state proposal reported in arXiv:2304.13813 and accepted to Physical Review Research and the resultant experiment to be reported at the 2024 APS March Meeting M46. 00001 by Andrea Morello titled "Novel control of the Schrödinger cat state in high-spin nuclei in silicon".
