Generalized Wick's theorem at finite temperature for a quadratic Hamiltonian

Abstract

In Gaudin (1960), Michel Gaudin showed the Wick's theorem at finite temperature using a diagonal Hamiltonian. We extend the Gaudin's prove for a statistical density operator which depend on a quadratic Hamiltonian. To illustrate the utility of the theorem, we evaluate the ratio [<N^2><N^>2]/<N^>\sqrt{[<\hat{N}^2>-<\hat{N}>^2]/<\hat{N}>} of a homogeneous weakly interacting Bose gas at temperature below the Bose-Einstein condensation temperature. At this condition, the quadratic Hamiltonian approximation is valued and, in this evaluation, we show the sub-Poissonian behaviour of the fundamental state distribution at zero temperature.
