Title: Schr\"odinger Cat States Generation by Synthetic Spin-orbit Interaction in Fock-state Lattices
Abstract: We show that Schrodinger cat states of photons can be prepared with effective magnetic fields gated by the quantum states of a two-level atom interacting with three cavities. By periodically modulating the cavity frequencies with different phases, opposite effective magnetic fields in the Fock-state lattice of cavity photons can be created for the two quantum states of the atom. A superposition of atomic states can guide photons from one cavity to a macroscopic superposition of the other two cavities. This mechanism provides a new platform for exploring quantum information and topological physics in novel lattices.
