Abstract
A method is presented for generating superpositions of coherent states of a cavity field via the atom-cavity-field Raman interaction. After an atom has interacted with a cavity field, initially in a coherent st ate, it is detected through the Raman coupling. Then the cavity field collapses into a Schrodinger cat state.
