PavelStransky/MulticomponentCat: Code for the paper on the multicomponent Schrödinger cat states
Abstract
Code accompanying the publication: P. Stránský, P. Cejnar, Creating multicomponent Schrödinger cat states in a coupled qubit-oscillator system, Physical Review A (2026). 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. Dependencies: Python 3.x, Julia 1.12.x, NumPy, DifferentialEquations.jl, QuantumOptics.jl Description and usage: See README.md
