Bosonic number-state corrections to Gaussian density correlations
ID: bosonic-number-state-corrections-to-gaussian-density-correlations
For a product of bosonic number states, direct and exchange contractions correctly count distinct modes. They overcount repeated-mode terms because , while Wick theorem would give . Subtracting the excess yields the displayed exact two-point correction. At higher order the occupation decrements carry falling factorials. This distinction is essential when comparing a fixed-number condensate with independent thermal modes.
