Bose-Einstein statistics

Bose-Einstein statistics is applicable to a system of 𝑁 identical and indistinguishable bosons, i.e. particles not obeying the Pauli exclusion principle and thus able to occupy the same states. A unique microstate is therefore labelled by every combination of occupation numbers 𝐾𝑖 for each particle state |𝑖, such that all occupation numbers add to 𝑁 =𝑖𝐾𝑖

𝐊BE={𝐊(0)𝑁:𝑖𝐾𝑖=𝑁}

and the energy of such a microstate is given by

𝐸𝐊=𝑖𝐾𝑖𝜀𝑖=𝐊𝜀

Hence the canonical partition function is given by

𝑍=𝐊BEexp(𝐊𝜀𝑘𝐵𝑇)
