Two particles having the same physical attributes are equivalent.
They behave the same way if subjected to the same treatment.
CM: Equivalent particles are distinguishable since one can
keep track of each particle all the time.
QM: Equivalent particles are indistinguishable since one cannot keep
track of each particle all the time due to the uncertainty principle.
Indistinguishable particle are called identical.

5.4.2. The General Case
Consider a system whose 1-particle energies are Ei with degeneracy di , i = 1,2,3,...
Now, N particles are put into the system such that Ni particles have energy Ei .
Question :
For a given configuration (N1 , N2 , N3 ,... ), what is the number, Q(N1 , N2 , N3 ,... ),
of distinct states allowed?
![Page 43: Chap 5. Identical Particles 1.Two-Particle Systems 2.Atoms 3.Solids 4.Quantum Statistical Mechanics](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649f135503460f94c27996/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Distinguishable Particles
Each energy level Ei corresponds to a bin with di compartments.
The problem is equivalent to finding the number of distinct ways to put N particles,
with Ni of them going into the di compartments of the ith bin.
Ans.: 1. There’re 1

ways, without regard of picking order, to choose N1 particles from the whole N particles.
2. When putting a particle into the 1st bin, there’re d1 choices of compartments.
the number of ways to put N1 particles into the 1st bin is 1

Fermions
1. Fermions are indistinguishable, so it doesn’t matter which ones are going to which
bin.
2. Each bin compartment can accept atmost one fermion.
So the number of way to place Ni fermions into the ith bin is

Bosons
1. Bosons are indistinguishable, so it doesn’t matter which ones are going to which bin.
2. Each bin compartment can accept any number of bosons.
Consider placing Ni bosons into the di compartments of the ith bin.
Let the bosons be represented by Ni dots on a line.
By inserting di 1 partitions, the dots are “placed” into di compartments.
If the dots & partitions are all distinct, the number of all possible arrangement is 1 ! i iN d
However, the dots & partitions are indistinguishable among themselves. Hence

5.4.3. The Most Probable Configuration
An isolated system in thermal equilibrium has a fixed total energy E,
and fixed number of particle N , i.e.,
1
ii
N N1
i ii
N E E
Since each possible way to share E among N particles has the same probability to exist,
the most probable configuration (N1 , N2 , N3 ,... )
is the one with the maximum Q(N1 , N2 , N3 ,... ).
Since Q(N1 , N2 , N3 ,... ) involves a lot of factorials, it’s easier to work with lnQ.
