> unique IDs to each subatomic particle
You only need one ID for each type of particle. Since the laws of physics dictate that the particles themselves are indistinguishable from each other.

Particles are how quantized fields present themselves when probed by localized interactions. In general, they're also observer-dependent.
The idea of assigning an "ID" to an object reflects a macro-level notion of re-identifiable objects persisting through time. But at the quantum level, that kind of classical individuality - object identity - doesn't exist.
