    "abstract": "A scheme for generating Schr\\\"{o}dinger cat-like states of a single-mode\noptical field by means of conditional measurement is proposed. Feeding into a\nbeam splitter a squeezed vacuum and counting the photons in one of the output\nchannels, the conditional states in the other output channel exhibit a number\nof properties that are very similar to those of superpositions of two coherent\nstates with opposite phases. We present analytical and numerical results for\nthe photon-number and quadrature-component distributions of the conditional\nstates and their Wigner and Husimi functions. Further, we discuss the effect of\nrealistic photocounting on the states.",
