The aim of this paper is twofold. First, we shall derive the Fermi-Dirac
(FD) and Bose-Einstein (BE) distributions from the classical
Maxwell-Boltzmann (MB) distribution by introducing into the classical
system the consequences of quantum mechanical indistinguishability in a
direct and simple manner. Next, we go through a brief introduction to
feedback systems and see how the FD and BE systems
... [Show full abstract] may be viewed as
classical systems with appropriate feedback. We shall see that the
resemblance to feedback systems is more than formal and that a feedback
mechanism does exist in systems obeying quantum statistical mechanics.
