Elementary particles appear in different ways. Particles of the same kind (similar particles) share all state-independent properties like mass, charge, and spin quantum number; there are many similar particles, but they are indistinguishable with respect to a certain class of properties. However, the case might even be stronger: similar particles apparently share all state-dependent properties, like spatial location and spin projection. This threatens the validity of Leibniz’s famous Principle of the Identity of Indiscernibles (PII; see Rodriguez-Pereyra (2014) for a historical reconstruction). As it is usually understood, quantum mechanics requires for similar particles to be in permutation invariant states. Take the following state, for example: with properties of spatial location L and R and spin properties↑ z and↓ z. According to the standard reading, both particles are in the same state, namely in the same two-particle state or, if preferred, in the same reduced mixed state:
