Quantum Coins, Dice and Children: Probability and Quantum Statistics
Chi-Keung Chow, Thomas D. Cohen
abstract: We discuss counterintuitive aspects of probabilities for systems of identical
particles obeying quantum statistics. Quantum coins and children (two level
systems) and quantum dice (many level systems) are used as examples. It is
emphasized that, even in the absence of interactions, (anti)symmetrizations of
multi-particle wavefunctions destroy statistical independences and often lead
to dramatic departures from our intuitive expectations.
