We propose a scheme for generation of arbitrary coherent superposition ofvortex states in Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC) using the orbital angularmomentum (OAM) states of light. We devise a scheme to generate coherentsuperpositions of two counter-rotating OAM states of light using knownexperimental techniques. We show that a specially designed Raman scheme allowstransfer of the optical vortex superposition state onto an initiallynon-rotating BEC. This creates an arbitrary and coherent superposition of avortex and anti-vortex pair in the BEC. The ideas presented here could beextended to generate entangled vortex states, design memories for the OAMstates of light, and perform other quantum information tasks. Applications toinertial sensing are also discussed.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, Revtex4, to be submitted to Phys. Rev. Let
