摘要
We propose a scheme to create a macroscopic "Schrodinger-cat" state formed by two interacting Bose condensates, In analog with quantum optics, where the control and engineering of quantum states can be maintained to a large extent we consider the present scheme to be an example of quantum atom optics at work.
