Symmetrization Postulate

The Symmetrization Postulate is a fundamental principle in quantum mechanics that mandates the wave function of a system of identical particles must be either symmetric (for bosons) or antisymmetric (for fermions) under the exchange of any two particles, thereby ensuring the physical indistinguishability of identical particles.
