Etymology
Named after physicists Albert Einstein and Satyendra Nath Bose, who developed the model and its underlying theory in 1924-25.
Noun
Bose-Einstein statistics (uncountable)
- (quantum mechanics) A particle statistics model that describes the behaviour of collections of particles (bosons) that do not obey the Pauli exclusion principle.
- 1999, W. Ketterle, D. S. Durfer, D. M. Stamper-Kurn, “Making, probing and understanding Bose-Einstein condensates”, in M. Inguscio, S. Stringari, C. E. Wieman, editors, Bose-Einstein Condensation in Atomic Gases, IOS Press, page 136:
- However, bosonic stimulation is as fundamental as Bose–Einstein statistics: one can derive the Bose–Einstein equilibrium distribution just by assuming detailed balance and bosonic stimulation (271).
- 2010, Masahito Ueda, Fundamentals and New Frontiers of Bose-Einstein Condensation, World Scientific, page 1:
- Bosons obey Bose–Einstein statistics in which there is no restriction on the occupation number of any single-particle state.

- The photon number distribution, which can also be derived in a superstatistical approach [23], in general interpolates between Bose-Einstein statistics and Poisson statistics.
