Abstract

In 1924, Bose communicated a derivation of the Planck distribution, to Einstein, where Bose introduced a key notion of indistinguishability of photon quanta. This was a turning point in the history of quantum mechanics. Bose's article is considered the fourth most important article, in the development of quantum mechanics, following those of Planck, Einstein and Niels Bohr. It was Dirac, who coined the names Bosons and Fermions.  We present a brief historical account of Bose’s discovery, followed by a bird’s eye view of the impacts of boson bloom and Bose-Einstein condensation in modern science and technology.
