Using calibrated atom number measurements, we quantitatively confirm the expected \$N\$ Rabi frequency enhancement to within 4\%. The resulting atom number distributions are consistent with essentially perfect blockade. We then use collective Rabi \$\pi\$ pulses to produce \$N=1,2\$ atom number Fock states with fidelities of 62\% and 48\% respectively. The \$N=2\$ Fock state shows the collective Rabi frequency enhancement without corruption from atom number fluctuations.
