Summary

Description
English: Illustrating the equivalence between exchanging two identical coherent particles, and rotating one of them by 360 degrees. By coherent, we mean that particle subsystems no longer carry with them independent histories.
If we are talking identical coherent half-integral spin particles i.e. fermions, these processes both multiply the joint-system wavefunction by minus one. If we are talking identical coherent integral-spin particles i.e. bosons, these processes both instead result in no change at all.
