When a superposition (|α〉-|-α〉) of two coherent states with opposite phase falls upon a 50-50 beam splitter, the resulting state is entangled. Remarkably, the amount of entanglement is exactly 1 ebit, irrespective of {α}, as was recently discovered by Hirota and Sasaki [LANL e-print quant-ph/0101018]. Here we discuss decoherence properties of such states and give a simple protocol that teleports one qubit encoded in Schr\"odinger cat states.
