Huggett Weak Discernibility for Quanta, the Right Way 2013 29 .pdf application/pdf 8143 846 74 Muller and Saunders argue discern particles are (i) non-symmetric in the case of bosons As Saunders ([2003]) emphasized, in quantum mechanics (QM) discussions of discernibility and indiscernibility have focussed almost exclusively on strong and relative discernibility, with most commentators arguing that bosons and fermions (collectively 'quanta') with Muller, has argued that fermions, and bosons sometimes, are weakly discernible.1 We accept that this intuition is correct, so that such quanta are weakly discerned; however, we do not think that Muller and Saunders satisfactorily generalize and express it in H− (in which case the particles are fermions); such states are 'symmetrized'.3 We refer to the space of fermionic states, these observables are multiples of the identity. have not shown that fermions are weakly discerned by a physically interesting relation. of the operators in Muller and Saunders' relation, then certainly discernibility by R−2 is results will go through, showing that fermions in such states are also weakly discernible. ./cache/work_mfyyesgqozec5bxgehtl7isiy4.pdf ./txt/work_mfyyesgqozec5bxgehtl7isiy4.txt
