Table of Contents: 00:09 Lecture 7.4: Wavefunction symmetry under particle exchange 00:53 From last lecture 04:56 What are acceptable forms for the 2-particle wavefunction 08:20 What are the consequences of these wavefunctions? 10:44 Case II: Two (identical) particles in same quantum state w 12:56 Case III: Two (identical) particles in same quantum state w 14:26 Which wavefunction s or a should we choose for electrons? 15:34 fundamentally two different types of quantum particles 17:29 Hence, ………..the Slater determinant: 20:51 Up next This video is part of the nanoHUB hosted course "Modern Physics" (http://nanohub.org/courses/phys342) Purdue PHYS 342 provides an introduction to the physical principles underlying topics in Modern Physics. This course is intended to provide engineering undergraduate students with a firm base from which they can extend their understanding of the quantum world.
