      Hence, Equation (???) is explicitly symmetric: \[\begin{align} \begin{aligned} \hat{P}_{12} \, |+\!z, A\,;\, -z, B\rangle &= \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \Big(|\!-\!z\rangle|B\rangle |\!+\!z\rangle|...Hence, Equation (???) is explicitly symmetric: ˆP12|+z,A;z,B=12(|z|B|+z|A+|+z|A|z|B)=|+z,A;z,B. Likewise, if there is a spin-down particle at A and a spin-up particle at B, the bosonic two-particle state is \[|-\!z, A\,;\, +z, B\rangle = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \Big…

If we are going to think about atoms other than hydrogen, it is necessary to extend the Schrödinger equation so that it describes more than one particle. All elementary particles are either fermions, which have antisymmetric multiparticle wavefunctions, or bosons, which have symmetric wave functions. Electrons, protons and neutrons are fermions; photons are bosons.

Wavefunctions that are symmetric under label interchange are said to obey Bose-Einstein statistics , and are called bosons. For instance, photons are bosons. Wavefunctions that are anti-symmetric under label interchange are said to obey Fermi-Dirac statistics , and are called fermions.
