Resumen:
It is shown that quantum systems of identical particles can betreated as if they were different when they are in welldifferentiated states. This simplifying assumption allows theconsideration of quantum systems isolated from the rest of theuniverse and justifies many intuitive statements about identicalsystems. However, it is shown that this simplification may leadto wrong results in the calculation of the entropy.
