How to distinguish between indistinguishable particles

چکیده
A long and intense debate in philosophy is concerned with the question whether there can be haecceistic differences between possible worlds, that is, nonqualitative only arise from different de re representations. According to haecceitism, it give rise a situation if positions of two qualitatively identical particles are exchanged, while according anti-haecceitism, this not case. It has been suggested classical statistical mechanics might provide evidence for one these positions. However, most philosophers physics argue does not. In article, we show order-preserving dynamics, novel method developed description nonergodic systems, changes situation: intrinsically makes experimental predictions than non-haecceistic alternatives. Thereby, provides an empirical argument existence modality re.

Statistics of indistinguishable particles.
The wave function of a system containing identical particles takes into account the relationship between a particle's intrinsic spin and its statistical property. Specifically, the exchange of two identical particles having odd-half-integer spin results in the wave function changing sign, whereas the exchange of two identical particles having integer spin is accompanied by no such sign change. ...
متن کاملEntanglement of indistinguishable particles shared between two parties.
Using an operational definition we quantify the entanglement, E(P), between two parties who share an arbitrary pure state of N indistinguishable particles. We show that E(P)< or =E(M), where E(M) is the bipartite entanglement calculated from the mode-occupation representation. Unlike E(M), E(P) is superadditive. For example, E(P)=0 for any single-particle state, but the state |1>|1>, where both...
متن کاملHow to distinguish between stick-slip and pure slip oscillations
Numerical simulations are performed for the stick-slip motion in the BurridgeKnopoff model of one block. Calculated amplitude increases with the driving velocity. We argue that this effect can be a criterion to distinguish between the stick-slip and pure slip oscillations. PACS : 62.20.Qp, 05.45.-a, 02.60.-x

متن کاملHow to distinguish between neglect and deprivational abuse.
Neglect is a major cause of inadequate childcare in all societies and should be differentiated from abuse. "Neglect" is defined here, as the "neglectful" failure to supply the needs of the child, including emotional needs. It does not include the deliberate and malicious withholding of needs, which is a form of abuse. Neglect has its roots in ignorance of a child's needs and competing prioritie...
