> Systems of identical quantum particles exhibit non-classical particle statistics, which is normally categorized into two types: bosonic and fermionic. This classification is established either through the symmetrization postulate or through (anti)commutation constraints on creation and annihilation operators.  Despite its centrality in the application of quantum theory, foundational understanding of quantum statistics remains elusive, triggering continuous debate since the advent of quantum mechanics.

> This workshop brings together experts from quantum foundations, quantum information, mathematical physics, and philosophy of physics who are approaching the vexing question of the origin and meaning of the quantum rules for handling identical particles from a variety of different theoretical and conceptual standpoints.

> A key goal of the workshop is to stimulate collaborative reflection on the relationship between these different approaches and on the implications of the newly-developed perspectives of the origin of quantum statistics—for example, the implications for the nature of entanglement in identical particle systems.
