Pauli exclusion principle
(fermions in a quantum system cannot have identical quantum numbers)
The Pauli exclusion principle,
that two fermions (particles with non-integer
spin, i.e., -1/2, 1/2, or 3/2, etc.)
cannot have the same set of quantum numbers
if within the same quantum system.
The typical example system is an atom's
electrons, and it is the principle which
prevents two electrons from taking the
same electron orbital.
The Pauli exclusion principle does not
apply to bosons, particles with
integer spin (i.e., 0, 1, or 2, etc.),
which adhere to Bose-Einstein statistics.
