bosonic

Like photons are

Bosonic describes particles or systems governed by Bose-Einstein statistics—the physics of bosons.

Bosons are particles like photons and gluons that can occupy the same quantum state, unlike fermions.

Bosonic string theory posits that all particles are tiny vibrating strings.

The term appears in quantum mechanics and particle physics contexts.
