 When is perturbation theory relevant. | If the system is similar to one which can be solved exactly. |
| When is perturbation theory most useful. | When the series' used to express the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions converge rapidly. |
| What type of symmetry do the wave-functions of half-integer spin particles have? What are these particles called? What type of statistics governs these particles? | The wave-functions are always antisymmetric. These particles are called fermions. They are governed by Fermi-Dirac statistics. |
| What type of symmetry do the wave-functions of integer spin particles have? What are these particles called? What type of statistics governs these particles? | The wave-functions are symmetry. These particles are called bosons. They are governed by Bose-Einstein statistics. |
