Bose-Einstein Statistics
Bose-Einstein Statistics is a statistical framework that describes the behavior of indistinguishable particles known as bosons. Unlike fermions, which follow the Pauli exclusion principle and cannot occupy the same quantum state, bosons can share the same state. This property allows them to cluster together, leading to phenomena such as superfluidity and Bose-Einstein condensates.
Developed by Satyendra Nath Bose and Albert Einstein in the early 20th century, this statistical approach is essential for understanding systems at very low temperatures. In these conditions, a significant number of bosons can occupy the lowest energy state, resulting in unique quantum behaviors that differ from classical physics.
