Abstract
We discuss the stochastic limit approach to superfluidity.
Starting from the usual Hamiltonian describing the interaction
between the Bose condensate and the normal phase, we prove the
existence of superfluidity in the stochastic limit and deduce a
nonlinear (quadratic) kinetic equation describing the evolution
of the density of superfluid liquid.
