Abstract
Particle mixing phenomena such as , neutrino, or axion-photon oscillations are cast in second-quantized form. This allows one to discuss effects involving the quantum statistics of the particles. In particular, one can understand neutrino oscillations in the case of degeneracy or the final-state distribution of occupation numbers in highly occupied states of light bosons.
