Wavefunction antisymmetry enforces the Pauli exclusion principle
Is it true that wavefunction antisymmetry enforces the Pauli exclusion principle?
Yes. Wavefunction antisymmetry enforces the Pauli exclusion principle, which states that identical fermions cannot occupy the same quantum state. No citation is strictly needed as this is a foundational principle of quantum mechanics.
Verdict: SUPPORTED · Common knowledge · 1 source for, 0 against · Last checked
The claim is a fundamental physical definition (the spin-statistics theorem / Pauli exclusion principle via antisymmetric wavefunctions for fermions). Paper [0] directly supports this definition. Because it is a basic axiom of quantum mechanics often taught as standard definition, it is classified as common knowledge while still supported by the retrieved literature.
