Preparation of Schrödinger cat states of a cavity field via coupling
to a superconducting charge qubit    [PDF]

Dagoberto S. Freitas, M. C. Nemes

We extend the approach of Ref. [Yu-xi Liu, L. F. Wei, and F. Nori, Europhys. Lett. 67, 941 (2004)] for preparing superposition states of a cavity field interacting with a superconducting charge qubit. We study effects of the nonlinearity on the creation of such states. We show that the main contribution of nonlinear effects is to shorten the time necessary to build the superposition.
