Wh Statistics Achieves Unified Framework with Λ, \K{appa} & Γ Parameters
Researchers at Harbin Institute of Technology introduced WH Statistics, a unified theoretical framework that incorporates three continuous parameters—λ for particle distinguishability, κ for exclusion weight, and γ for intrinsic symmetry.

By treating indistinguishability as a tunable degree of freedom, the approach captures the interplay of quantum exclusion and thermal fluctuations. Experimental validation shows the framework accurately describes strongly correlated quantum systems across the quantum‑classical spectrum.
