	When two identical quantum particles are exchanged, the observable probability distribution must remain unchanged. For fermions the wavefunction changes sign, while for bosons it remains symmetric. This symmetry constraint changes the allowed spatial and spin configurations.		When two identical quantum particles are exchanged, the observable probability distribution must remain unchanged.
