The principle of identicality and the foundations of quantum theory. I: The Gibbs paradox. II: The role of identicality in the formation of quantum theory (1991)

unapi

Description “The development of the concept of indistinguishability in the writings of Gibbs is traced, leading from the `Gibbs paradox' to his definition of generic phase.” In part two “the place of the concept of indistinguishability in the formation of quantum theory is examined, including particularly Planck's earliest formulations of the quantum hypothesis, as well as the use of this concept in the developments surrounding the new quantum theory.”
