Generalized coherent states (GCs) under deformed quantum mechanics which exhibits intrinsic minimum length and maximum momentum have been well studied following Gazeau-Klauder approach. In this paper, as an extension to the study of quantum deformation, we investigate the famous Schrodinger cat states (SCs) under these two classes of quantum deformation. Following the concept of generalized Gazeau-Klauder Schrodinger cat states (GKSCs), we construct the deformed-GKSCs for both phenomenological models that exhibit intrinsic minimum length and (or) maximum momentum. All comparisons between minimum length and maximum momentum deformations are illustrated and plots are done in even and odd cat states since they are one of the most important classic statistical characteristics of SCs. Probability distribution and entropies are studied. In general, deformed cat states do not possess the original even and odd states statistical properties. Non-classical properties of the deformed-GKSCs are explored in terms of Mandel Q parameter, quadrature squeezing as well as Husimi quasi-probability distribution. Some of these distinguishing quantum-gravitational features may possibly be realized qualitatively and even be measured quantitatively in future experiments with the advanced development in quantum atomic and optics technology.

We modify the time dependent Schrodinger-Newton equation by using a potential for a solid sphere suggested by Jaaskelainen (Jaaskelainen 2012 Phys. Rev. A 86 052105) as well as a hollow-sphere potential. Compared to our recent paper (Giulini and Gro{ss}ardt 2011 Class. Quantum Grav. 28 195026) where a single point-particle, i.e. a Coulomb potential, was considered this has been suggested to be a more realistic model for a molecule. Surprisingly, compared to our previous results, inhibitions of dispersion of a Gaussian wave packet occur at even smaller masses for the solid-sphere potential, given that the width of the wave packet is not exceeded by the radius of the sphere.
The analysis of the modifications that the presence of a deformed dispersion relation entails in the roots of the so--called degree of coherence function, for a beam embodying two different frequencies and moving in a Michelson interferometer, is carried out. The conditions to be satisfied, in order to detect this kind of quantum gravity effect, are also obtained.
Given a source of two coherent state superpositions with small separation in a traveling wave optical setting, we show that by interference and balanced homodyne measurement it is possible to conditionally prepare a symmetrically placed superposition of coherent states around the origo of the phase space. The separation of the coherent states in the superposition will be amplified during the process.
When two equal photon-number states are combined on a balanced beam splitter, both output ports of the beam splitter contain only even numbers of photons. Consider the time-reversal of this interference phenomenon: the probability that a pair of photon-number-resolving detectors at the output ports of a beam splitter both detect the same number of photons depends on the overlap between the input state of the beam splitter and a state containing only even photon numbers. Here, we propose using this even-parity detection to engineer quantum states containing only even photon-number terms. As an example, we demonstrate the ability to prepare superpositions of two coherent states with opposite amplitudes, i.e. two-component Schrodinger cat states. Our scheme can prepare cat states of arbitrary size with nearly perfect fidelity. Moreover, we investigate engineering more complex even-parity states such as four-component cat states by iteratively applying our even-parity detector.
Mesoscopic quantum superpositions, or Schrodinger cat states, are widely studied for fundamental investigations of quantum measurement and decoherence as well as applications in sensing and quantum information science. The generation and maintenance of such states relies upon a balance between efficient external coherent control of the system and sufficient isolation from the environment. Here we create a variety of cat states of a single trapped atoms motion in a harmonic oscillator using ultrafast laser pulses. These pulses produce high fidelity impulsive forces that separate the atom into widely-separated positions, without restrictions that typically limit the speed of the interaction or the size and complexity of the resulting motional superposition. This allows us to quickly generate and measure cat states larger than previously achieved in a harmonic oscillator, and create complex multi-component superposition states in atoms.
