    "abstract": "We theoretically examine two-color photoassociation of a Bose-Einstein\ncondensate, focusing on the role of rogue decoherence in the formation of\nmacroscopic atom-molecule superpositions. Rogue dissociation occurs when two\nzero-momentum condensate atoms are photoassociated into a molecule, which then\ndissociates into a pair of atoms of equal-and-opposite momentum, instead of\ndissociating back to the zero-momentum condensate. As a source of decoherence\nthat may damp quantum correlations in the condensates, rogue dissociation is an\nobstacle to the formation of a macroscopic atom-molecule superposition. We\nstudy rogue decoherence in a setup which, without decoherence, yields a\nmacroscopic atom-molecule superposition, and find that the most favorable\nconditions for said superposition are a density ~ 1e12 atoms per cc and\ntemperature ~ 1e-10.",
