    "abstract": "We propose a scheme for creating quantum superposition states involving of\norder $10^{14}$ atoms via the interaction of a single photon with a tiny\nmirror. This mirror, mounted on a high-quality mechanical oscillator, is part\nof a high-finesse optical cavity which forms one arm of a Michelson\ninterferometer. By observing the interference of the photon only, one can study\nthe creation and decoherence of superpositions involving the mirror. All\nexperimental requirements appear to be within reach of current technology.",
