Statistics, Symmetry, and the Conventionality of Indistinguishability in Quantum Mechanics
Abstract
This paper continues an earlier work by considering in what sense and to what extent identical Bohmian-mechanical particles in many-particle systems can be considered indistinguishable. We conclude that while whether identical Bohmian-mechanical particles ace considered to be "statistically (in)distinguishable'' is a matter of theory choice underdetermined by logic and experiment, such particles are in any case "physically distinguishable.''
