We　discuss　a　general　physical　mechanism　for　arbitrary　control　of　the　quantum　states　of　multiple　qubits　in　the　symmetric　Dicke　subspace.　The　qubit-qubit　coupling　leads　to　unequal　energy　spacing　in　the　symmetric　Dicke　subspace.　This　allows　one　to　manipulate　a　prechosen　transition　with　an　external　driving　source,　with　other　transitions　remaining　off-resonant.　Any　entangled　state　in　the　symmetric　Dicke　subspace　can　be　created　from　the　initial　ground　state　by　tuning　the　driving　source.　We　illustrate　the　idea　in　cavity　QED,　but　it　should　be　applicable　to　other　related　systems.　©　2008　The　American　Physical　Society.
