Summary

Wigner function of a Schrödinger cat state, showing the coherent superposition of two harmonic-oscillator coherent states. The horizontal axis shows position and the vertical axis shows momentum, with the corresponding marginal distributions (obtained by integrating along the other dimension) shown below and to the right, respectively.
