Testing the symmetrization postulate of quantum mechanics and the spin-statistics connection

Quantum Physics 2017-04-26 v1

Abstract

Recent experimental tests of the symmetrization postulate of quantum mechanics are discussed. It is shown that in a strict sense these experiments cannot test the validity of the symmetrization postulate, but in most cases do test the spin-statistics connection. An experiment is proposed that would allow to search for possible violations of the symmetrization postulate.
