Abstract
We propose a novel scheme to prepare Fock states and photon superposition states in a cavity. It is based on the fact that the ground state Zeeman coherence of an atom which is passed through a cavity can be transferred on-to-one to a (coherent) superposition of photon number states of the cavity mode.
