Summary[edit]

Description
English: Wigner function of a Schrödinger cat state, showing the coherent superposition of two harmonic-oscillator coherent states. The horizontal axis shows position and the vertical axis shows momentum, with the corresponding marginal distributions (obtained by integrating along the other dimension) shown below and to the right, respectively. This image was first created for How to visualize a Schrödinger cat state? at http://physics.stackexchange.com/a/191272/8563.
Español: Función de Wigner de un estado de gato de Schrödinger de un oscilador armónico, correspondiente a una superposición de estados coherentes. El eje horizontal es la posición del oscilador y el eje vertical es el momento; abajo y a la derecha se muestran las correspondientes distribuciones marginales, obtenidas al integral a lo largo de la otra dimensión.
