Einstein: quantum statistics for an ideal material gas

Contribution grade

Quantum statistical mechanics · theoretical extension

Reference score180,000Provisional editorial estimate of this exact contribution; its grade is assessed separately.

What changed

Quantum statistics became applicable to ideal material particles rather than radiation alone.

Scientific scope

The first 1924 gas paper; Bose's photon statistics and the second-paper condensation prediction are excluded.

Evidence

The linked sources identify this contribution and its scope. WRS has not independently reconstructed the scientific claims. This is the first 1924 gas paper. Bose’s photon-statistics paper and Einstein’s second-paper condensation prediction remain separate records.
