title: Entanglement capabilities in infinite dimensions: multidimensional entangled coherent states.
abstract: An example is given of an interaction that produces an infinite amount of entanglement in an infinitely short time, but only a finite amount in longer times. The interaction arises from a standard Kerr nonlinearity and a 50/50 beam splitter, and the initial state is a coherent state. For certain finite interaction times multidimensional generalizations of entangled coherent states are generated, for which we construct a teleportation protocol. Similarities between probabilistic teleportation and unambiguous state discrimination are pointed out.
