Natanson was head of Theoretical Physics at
Krakow University
from 1899 to 1935.

He published a series of papers on thermodynamically irreversible processes, gaining him recognition in the rapidly growing field. He was the first to consider the distinguishability of energy quanta in the statistical analysis of elementary processes, a precursor of the concept of
quantum indistinguishability
. He discovered a quantum statistics, rediscovered 11 years later by
Satyendra Nath Bose
and generalized by
Albert Einstein
though his derivation was not in terms of einstein's light quanta aka photons ? the
Bose?Einstein statistics
.
