We show that photon addition process can be identified as an entanglement enhancer operation for superpositions of coherent states (SCS). Specifically for the known bipartite positive SCS: |ψ⟩∝|α⟩a|-α⟩b+|-α⟩a|α⟩b\documentclass[12pt]{minimal}

We also analyzed the decoherence effects in the entangled PACS induced by a simple depolarizing channel . We find that robustness against depolarization is increased by adding photons to the coherent states of the superposition. We obtain the dependence of the critical depolarization pcrit\documentclass[12pt]{minimal}
