25. We note that when identical values of g are not possible for all N atoms, one can still reliably produce N-photon states using a pump laser that does not distinguish between the atoms. The analysis would be similar and rely on the dark states discussed in Ref. [24].

29. We assume here that photons are lost from the cavity by transmission through the cavity mirrors to traveling modes outside the cavity, thereby neglecting their possible absorption in the mirrors.
