The main focus is on the proper interpretation of the quantum formalism in relation to the role of permutation invariance and the adequate representation of the properties of individual subsystems. Two main approaches to the issue of the individuation of quantum particles are distinguished and thoroughly discussed. These approaches differ radically with respect to their metaphysical consequences while one of them implies the complete indiscernibility of quantum particles of the same kind, the other one restores the possibility of discerning individual particles by their properties. We connect the problem of quantum individuation and discernibility with an analysis of the concept of quantum entanglement, and we also discuss identity over time and in counterfactual scenarios. Tomasz Bigaj is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Warsaw, Poland. His previous publications include the book Non-locality and Possible Worlds (2006) and numerous articles on various topics in philosophy of physics, philosophical logic and analytic metaphysics (Synthese, Erkenntnis, Foundations of Physics, Foundations of Science). 001443388 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed January 18, 2022). 001443388 650_0 $$aQuantum theory. 001443388 650_6 $$aThéorie quantique. 001443388 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001443388 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aBigaj, Tomasz.$$tIdentity and indiscernibility in quantum mechanics.$$dCham : Palgrave Macmillan, [2022]$$z9783030748692$$w(OCoLC)1264402980 001443388 830_0 $$aNew directions in the philosophy of science. 001443388 852__ $$bebk 001443388 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-74870-8$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001443388 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1443388$$pGLOBAL_SET 001443388 980__ $$aBIB 001443388 980__ $$aEBOOK 001443388 982__ $$aEbook 001443388 983__ $$aOnline 001443388 994__ $$a92$$bISE
