A system consists of two non-interacting identical particles and is described by the spatial wave function V(x1, x₂) = : (VA (X1) VB(X₂) — VB(X1) VA (X2)), √2 where Å and ½Å are normalized energy eigenfunctions for a single particle in a well, with corresponding energy eigenvalues E and Eß, where EA EB. (a) Show explicitly that the function (x₁, x2) is antisymmetric with respect to interchange of particle labels. If the two particles are identical spin- fermions, what does this imply about the symmetry of the associated two-particle spin state? Explain your reasoning. (b) What can be said about the possible values of the quantum numbers S and Ms in this state?
