The model provides the possibility to realize several exotic theoretical possibilities in an experimental setting. For example, it was realized that during the periods of collapsed Rabi oscillations, the atom-cavity system exists in a quantum superposition state on a macroscopic scale. Such a state is sometimes referred to as a "Schrödinger cat", since it allows the exploration of the counter intuitive effects of how quantum entanglement manifests in macroscopic systems. It can also be used to model how quantum information is transferred in a quantum field.
