Bose-Einstein statistics
Noun

Bose-Einstein statistics (uncountable)

  1. (quantum mechanics) A particle statistics model that describes the behaviour of collections of particles (bosons) that do not obey the Pauli exclusion principle.

      However, bosonic stimulation is as fundamental as Bose–Einstein statistics: one can derive the Bose–Einstein equilibrium distribution just by assuming detailed balance and bosonic stimulation (271].

      Bosons obey Bose–Einstein statistics in which there is no restriction on the occupation number of any single-particle state.

      The photon number distribution, which can also be derived in a superstatistical approach [23], in general interpolates between Bose-Einstein statistics and Poisson statistics.
