By the end you'll be able to
- Explain why identical quantum particles are indistinguishable in principle and how exchange symmetry splits every particle into one of two families.
- Classify elementary and composite particles as bosons or fermions using the spin-statistics connection.
- Compare how fermions, bosons and classical particles occupy energy levels, and calculate the Fermi energy of a metal.
- Describe how Bose–Einstein condensation was predicted and achieved, and estimate the density and temperature it requires.
- Explain lasers, superconductivity and superfluid helium as consequences of quantum statistics.
