PRODUCTION OF SCHRODINGER MACROSCOPIC QUANTUM-SUPERPOSITION STATES INA KERR MEDIUM

We show how a special class of Schrodinger macroscopic quantum-superpo sition states can be produced by a coherent field propagating through a Kerr medium. We show that these states are eigenstates of the mth po wer of the photon-annihilation operator leading also to the possibilit y of producing these using multiphoton Jaynes-Cummings systems. We fur ther show how superpositions of squeezed coherent states can be produc ed.
