摘要：

We show that by combining nonselective and conditional measurements on a sequence of excited two-level atoms traversing a resonant cavity, one can construct a practical strategy for compressing an arbitrary photon-number distribution (thermal distributions included) into a desired Fock state with high probability of success and low number of measurements.
