Quantum-statistical information of the collective atomic dipole is found to be faithfully transferred to the photon state even in a few-photon regime. The controllability of few-photon states is shown to increase with increasing the number of squeezed atoms.5 pages, RevTex, uses eclepsf.sty. The change is only one sentence referring to Ref.[4,7].
