Description
The nonlocality of the Schroedinger cat is established. A correlation measurement that exhibits quantum interference in the form of the Wigner function of the cat state is introduced. The relation of this correlation to quantum interference in phase space and the nonlocal character of the Schroedinger cat are discussed. It is shown that the Schroedinger cat correlation function leads to violation of the Bell inequality for macroscopically distinguishable states of the cat. (author)
