  • Abstract
    Summary form only given. The nonlinear interferometer using coherent light as input can exhibit remarkable quantum features. One of these features is the production of entangled coherent states, a nontrivial generalization of the optical Schrodinger cat states. Another feature is the production of squeezed light in a Sagnac interferometer with a Kerr nonlinearity.
