Each relation below starts at this concept.
This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
Bosonic identical-particle state spaces use symmetric exchange statistics.
The target represents a state, property, observable, or state-dependent description associated with the source system or theory.
wp-physics-bose_einstein_statisticsnlab-physics-particle_statisticsThis is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
Fermionic identical-particle state spaces use antisymmetric exchange statistics.
The target represents a state, property, observable, or state-dependent description associated with the source system or theory.

The coincidence dip depends on erasing distinguishing information between the two photons.
The source theory, law, entity, prediction, or structural claim is directly tested, supported, constrained, or established by the target experiment or observation. Experimental support is not final logical proof; the edge detail states exactly what was measured.
