Generation of Multi-atom Dicke States with Quasi-unit Probability   through the Detection of Cavity Decay
  We propose a scheme to create universal Dicke states of n largely detuned atoms through detecting the leaky photons from an optical cavity. The generation of entangled states in our scheme has quasi-unit success probability, so it has potential practicability based on current or near coming laboratory cavity QED technology.
