Abstract
In this work, we investigate the generation of squeezed Schrödinger cat states in schemes based on photon-number-resolving measurements on multimode Gaussian states. We derive analytical expressions for the states generated in two- and three-mode schemes, as well as formulas for their fidelity with squeezed Schrödinger cat states. We analyze how the amplitude of the generated states scales with the number of detected particles. Furthermore, we derive an upper bound on the achievable generation fidelity and identify the conditions under which multimode schemes can enhance the quality of the generated states.
