Quantum depletion of a Bose condensate
ID: quantum-depletion-of-a-bose-condensate
The quasiparticle vacuum contains physical particles at nonzero momentum because the Bogoliubov transformation mixes creation and annihilation operators. Their occupation is , and the depletion density is its momentum sum divided by the volume. At nonzero temperature an additional contribution is required; quantum depletion alone is a zero-temperature expression.
