The Bose-Einstein distribution is a statistical distribution that describes the behavior of particles with integer spin. These particles are called bosons, and examples include photons and phonons. In quantum statistics, Bose-Einstein statistics describes how a group of non-interacting particles can occupy a set of energy states at thermodynamic equilibrium. At low temperatures, bosons can behave differently from fermions. This is because an unlimited number of bosons can collect into the same energy state, a phenomenon called "condensation".
