After a general introduction to Wigner Quantum Systems, we define the three-dimensional n-particle Wigner Quantum Oscillator, and its relation to the Lie superalgebra sl(1 vertical bar 3n). In this framework, coordinates, momentum and the angular momentum of the particles are defined and investigated. This investigation is done in state spaces, using representation theory of sl(1 vertical bar 3n). For the case n = 1, the main properties are listed, with an emphasis on the non-commutative coordinates of the particle and its unconventional consequences. For general n, we study energy spectra, angular momentum, and in particular the particle configuration and its interpretation. Throughout, a comparison with the canonical oscillator solution is given.
