    "abstract": "We investigate the possibility of interference effects induced by macroscopic\nquantum-mechanical superpositions of almost othogonal coherent states - a\nSchroedinger cats state - in a resonant microcavity. Despite the fact that a\nsingle atom, used as a probe of the cat state, on the average only change the\nmean number of photons by one unit, we show that this single atom can change\nthe system drastically. Interference between the initial and almost orthogonal\nmacroscopic quantum states of the radiation field can now take place.\nDissipation under current experimental conditions is taken into account and it\nis found that this does not necessarily change the intereference effects\ndramatically.",
