Editing Slater determinant (section)

== Discussion ==

The word "'''detor'''" was proposed by [[S. Francis Boys|S. F. Boys]] to refer to a Slater determinant of orthonormal orbitals,<ref>{{ cite journal| title=Electronic wave functions I.

Unlike [[fermions]] that are subject to the Pauli exclusion principle, two or more [[bosons]] can occupy the same single-particle quantum state. Wavefunctions describing systems of identical [[bosons]] are symmetric under the exchange of particles and can be expanded in terms of [[Permanent (mathematics)|permanent]]s.
