Foundations of Physics 3A: For two identical particles that do not interact with each other, what are the many-body wave functions that satisfy the correct symmetry

Question

For two identical particles that do not interact with each other, what are the many-body wave functions that satisfy the correct symmetry

Rhianna Moore · Accepted Answer

Bosons : Φ(r,r') proprtional to Φ1(r) Φ2(r') + Φ2(r) Φ1(r') Fermions : Φ(r,r') proprtional to Φ1(r)Φ2(r) - Φ2(r) Φ1(r') 
Distinguishable particles : Φ(r,r') = Φ1(r) Φ2(r')
