Bose-Einstein statistics

Bose-Einstein statistics is applicable to a system of identical and indistinguishable bosons, i.e. particles not obeying the Pauli exclusion principle and thus able to occupy the same states. A unique microstate is therefore labelled by every combination of occupation numbers for each particle state , such that all occupation numbers add to

and the energy of such a microstate is given by

Hence the canonical partition function is given by
