Abstract: Abstract In two recent experiments it was demonstrated that number or Fock states can be generated. Two types of experiments have been performed. In the first one the number states are achieved in steady state via the socalled trapping states of the micromaser field. In the second experiment the number states were generated in a dynamical experiment by state reduction. In the latter case the generated field was afterwards probed by observing the dynamics of a probe atom in the field. This is the first unambiguous measurement of the purity of number states in cavity quantum electrodynamics.
