Quantum statistics

Quantum statistics is a branch of physics that describes how particles, like atoms and electrons, behave at very small scales, where classical physics no longer applies. It distinguishes between two types of particles: fermions (like electrons) obey the Pauli exclusion principle, meaning no two can occupy the same state simultaneously, while bosons (like photons) can share the same state. This difference leads to unique phenomena, such as superconductivity and Bose-Einstein condensates. Quantum statistics helps us understand the collective behavior of particles in various systems, contributing to advancements in technology and our understanding of the universe.
