Abstract

In this paper we show that the codirectional Kerr nonlinear coupler can generate Schrodinger-cat states, in particular, Yurke-Stoler states based on the values of the interaction parameters. We show this analytically through s-parameterized single-mode quasiprobability distribution functions. We confirm this fact also in the evolution of the phase distribution.
