Creating multicomponent Schrödinger cat states in a coupled qubit-oscillator system

Abstract

We present a method for preparing various exotic modifications of Schr{\"o}dinger cat states by coupling a semiclassical oscillator to a system of qubits. Varying the number of qubits and parameters of the protocol (involving quantum quench of the coupled system and a subsequent spin measurement), we bring the oscillator into a coherent superposition composed of an arbitrary number of wavepackets in tunable proportions and motion relations. The method can be implemented with the aid of current experimental techniques and may find applications in quantum information and sensing protocols.
