7. Apart from the difference in their mathematical settings, this model differs from that of HL in the following physical respect. The atoms of HL are pairs of Fermi oscillators, and can thus accommodate 0, 1, or 2 electrons each; whereas those of (I) correspond to two-level atoms, each with precisely one electron.
