Averaging the operators for a large number of clusters: Phase transitions

Abstract: We develop the theory of averaging the operators in a Fock space, introduced in our previous papers. We find the algebra of mean operators. We introduce the quantum entropy and quantum free energy using the function $f(z)=z\ln(z)$ of the mean unit operator (the “measure” of mean operators). Such a “quantum thermodynamics” determines the temperature dependence of the critical speed (“the Landau criterion”) and the temperature distribution at which the speed of a superfluid system is nonzero even at zero temperature. We generalize the consideration to the case where sparsely distributed bosons form clusters.
