The quasiparticle vacuum contains physical particles at nonzero momentum because the Bogoliubov transformation mixes creation and annihilation operators. Their occupation is vk2​=(Ak​/Ek​−1)/2, and the depletion density is its momentum sum divided by the volume. At nonzero temperature an additional (Ak​/Ek​)nB​(Ek​) contribution is required; quantum depletion alone is a zero-temperature expression.
