The nonlinear interaction required for generation of non-Gaussian quantum states is enabled through the spin-opto-mechanical coupling with a built-in nitrogen-vacancy center inside the nanodiamond. The proposed method allows raising of Schrödinger's cat states from single atoms to much larger objects with millions of atoms and observation of the associated spatial quantum interference of the mesoscopic nanodiamond under reasonable experimental conditions.
