- Homework Statement
- What is the Hilbert-space dimension of this two-particle system if the two particles are (a) distinguishable? (b) identical bosons? (c) identical fermions (assuming
their spins are polarized, so the spin-part is completely symmetric)?
- Relevant Equations
- Two particles occupying N distinct states |1>, |2>, · · · , |N>
My thoughts are:
a) it should just be N^2
b) just N since they're identical
c) due to Pauli exclusion would it be N^2 - N since they have to be different states?
