Quantum Mechanics
Quantum statistics is a branch of statistical mechanics that describes the behavior of systems with indistinguishable particles at the quantum level. It provides the framework for understanding how particles such as electrons and photons occupy energy states, leading to distinct distributions based on their statistical nature, which includes Fermi-Dirac and Bose-Einstein distributions. These distributions are crucial for analyzing systems like fermionic matter, which follows the Pauli exclusion principle, and bosonic systems that allow multiple particles to occupy the same state.
