Symmetrization Postulate 0
The Symmetrization Postulate in quantum mechanics dictates that the wave function of a system of identical particles must be either symmetric or antisymmetric under the exchange of any two particles, leading to the classification of particles as bosons or fermions. This postulate is crucial for understanding the statistical behavior of quantum systems, influencing phenomena such as the Pauli exclusion principle and Bose-Einstein condensation.
