Quantum Physics: BOSONS and FERMIONS Explained for Beginners

[@ParthGChannel]

Hi friends, thank you so much for your support! I've just made a video discussing SPIN very generally - check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/enTVp5Skd5eIjaM :)

[@moriyartyholmes3914]

Still unable to understand, why u have so less subscribers. The quality and the knowledge in your videos is outstanding. Best of luck brother you are doing great job. Keep it up..👍👍👍 hope u'll have million subscribers Very soon.

[@mmessick]

Great video!

[@SkotoSbyBishoP]

So, if matter is Fermions, why is it that when we approach 0K it behaves as a Bose-Einstein condensate? I'm clearly misunderstanding something, and I'm struggling to find out an explanation. I'd be obliged if you could answer my question! Your videos are amazing, keep it up.

[@Arseniy_Arseniy]

@@SkotoSbyBishoP 2 fermions can behave like 1 boson. to be precise, they are not equivalent in zone but have some properties of motion characteristic of a photon. True, I am not very good at how it works at such a formal level. More intuitive explanation: the nuclei of the crystal are attracted to the passing electron and "suck in" the next electron. Therefore, they travel as a whole - this is the Cooper pair.

[@gargigole1461]

Best explaination ever.This is the video I was searching for long time.

[@Etothe2iPi]

The probability density is not psi squared, but psi modulus squared. Psi is in general complex valued. The square of a complex number is, in general, complex and probabilities are real numbers. There is no difference between identical and indistinguishable particles. Otherwise, it's a good video and you're doing a good job explaining complex concepts to a general audience.

[@GugaCoder]

How glad I am when content like this of yours shows up on my timeline. I've been struggling to understand the bottom line of fermions and bosons, and your way of walking through it was really helpful.👏

Hey thanks for the kind words!

[@kelly-iy5mz]

Hey I have a doubt..! If two particles are indistinguishable...how do you classify (know) that electrons swapped there position...and higs bosons didn't...how do you know electrons fall in fermions category,if you can't tell which electron is which..?? Similarly how do you know that higs boson didn't changed there position..and can be classified into Bosons category..

[@paul4105]

Your explanations in quantum physics really impresses me, I specifically like how you described quantum tunneling in your other video. Definitely earned a sub !

[@dippy9119]

I feel this is the clearest possible explanation of bosons and fermions that can possibly exist. But I still don't get it.

[@GeovaniLopesDias]

As I get it, the particles' names are like naming the different solutions to the wave function. As we do detect, testing the conditions/solutions the theory proposed us, the particles with this or that behavior, we can say that those particles do exist or not. In another words, the math that describes how fields do behavior (like waves) can point us the way to do physics. In the Parth's example, he just distinguish two particular particles.

[@PewPew_McPewster]

The way I try and internalize it is, there are two broad ways of categorizing subatomic particles that make it very easy to predict the distribution of energies of those particles in your systems. Bosons, because of what they are, follow the Bose-Einstein distribution, and we see this exact distribution of energies from the light spectrum of our sun- the proportion of all photons that have energy E will be easily predicted under the Bose-Einstein distribution, allowing us to engineer a lot of shenanigans like solar cells since we can account for this. On the other hand, fermions can be described in a similar way using the Fermi-Dirac distribution. The most immediate use is to describe how electron energy levels are formed, and tells us useful things like why semiconductors can conduct at room temperature but not as absolute 0- because this distribution "smears" at higher temperatures, predicting that some electrons will be energetic enough to exist in the conduction band. So they are essentially two tools for us to describe and predict the probability that particle p has energy E, depending on what kind of particle p is: boson? Or fermion?

[@PewPew_McPewster]

I just went through material that he didn't cover in the video, but I think it's useful to try and keep in mind a more practical picture of bosons and fermions as we discuss them at this level of abstraction. Quantum mechanics is very beautiful in that all these layers of abstraction play into each other in such and intricate way.

[@DarkMatterVisible]

It's really not, this was actually a quite poor explanation. I'm not even sure I would call it an explanation of bosons and fermions at all.

[@knarfamoranemix6030]

I don't understand the difference between identical, distinguishable particles and identical, indistuishable one. Apparently, distinguisable means trackable. How does that difference manifest itself ? How can you track the distinguishable particles and yet fail with the same method to track the indistinguishable ones ?

Hi friend, could you please answer me 3 questions that haven been unanswered for a quite while now? Do entangled photons lose their entanglement if they pass through a prism (like a parallelepiped without 90° angles)?

[@ILsupereroe67]

I understand that Psi(r1,r2)=-Psi(r2,r1) (i.e. the equation for fermions) implies that two fermions cannot be at the same place at the same time, which is basically the Pauli exclusion principle. But then it turns out that two electrons can, as long as they have oppsite spins. Well ok, that's because the opposite spin is what makes them distinguishable, so the exclusion only applies to two electrons with the same spin. But why are there exactly two "kinds" of electrons (i.e. two possible values of spin), and how does that relate with the fact that the spin can actually be measured in the three orthogonal dimensions of space etc.... I don't expect you to answer here to all this, I'm wondering if you have a video that clarifies that 😅and how that relates to the indistinguishability thing - or how spin relate to wave functions.....

[@PewPew_McPewster]

When you realise that the statistics surrounding bosons and fermions are the reason why photovoltaics works the way it does, it's really quite transcendental. One describes the energies we get from the sun, the other describes how energetic the electrons in the solar cell are. Unfortunately when you combine them together, they tell you that your solar cell will never be more that ~33% efficient if there's only one absorber layer 😭

Interesting explanation as every graduate should learn. The wave functions are normally complex formulations - hence the probability functions are always modulus square of the w-functions, i.e. sum of the two complex components of a w-function. Are my assumptions about wave functions correct ?

[@korewatorika]

I can say it was a very clear explanation of how the concept of bosons and fermions comes from math, but... I didn't actually understand what bosons and fermions is, I mean, all we have from this video is an abstraction, but maybe a bit of practical information would be nice, why do we need them, what they do, what difference between them comes from mathematical equation to real life. I hope my words makes sense. Anyway I appreciate your work, it seems as though many people find it useful so maybe it's problem with me

[@schmetterling4477]

As a general piece of advice... "what something is" in science is always determined by "what something does" or "how that something behaves". A deep philosophical discussion won't get you anywhere. Science is experimental and observational and by those methods we can only determine properties. We are not getting to the "essence of things" as Plato and Aristotle were trying to do. We are making precision measurements of energy, momentum, spin, charge etc. though, something which they can't do in the philosophy department. Combinations of these quantities happen to identify physical objects quite uniquely and that is the power of dealing with object properties, rather than objects. In modern physics "the object" itself loses all meaning in relativistic field theory. Only its physical properties when observed for eternity from infinity have "objective" character, and even that is still observer dependent. If you can't learn to live with that ambiguity, then, I am afraid, physics will never be your friend.

[@KD14-s8w]

At the same time as explaining us about this cool stuff, are you also using the feynman technique for yourself?

[@nunushetmitiku4481]

You make it very easy and very helpful. with this kind of simple explanation, you can explain Einstein's field equations easily. next time explain Einstein's field equations because quantum physics and general relativity mix together to form the theory of everything.

BTW, when it comes to tools , I just explore exhaustively for every single video related to the concept of qm . I think devoting time on the maths of qm isn't the clever thing to do because they seem utterly formidable and when you try to thorough comprehend them you may seem somewhat inferior to their intellectual standards. Me myself even as a 10th grader I consider some of the qm maths intelligible but still sometimes it subverts my thirst for knowledge on the topic . You might be more smart than me so you may comprehend even more but still I would recommend just dedication on the concept. It's all that is needed to get the picture and the exuberance which you pursue via qm . But if you want to also study the maths, you can just download apps like Ebookdroid and then download some decent books at no cost . I wish to participate on the astrophysics olympiad so I downloaded a book called fundamental astronomy which I found free. You can respectively download some qm books at free. Actually you can download the book I mentioned before too. Even though it focuses on classical mechanics, it has a lot of qm too like black body radiation (which gave the spark for the consolidation of physics for that matter). You will thoroughly enjoy it for sure. I will tell you if I find decent books on quantum mechanics
