Abstract
We present the quantum theory for the nucleation of Bose-Einstein cond ensation in a dilute atomic Bose gas. This quantum theory has the impo rtant advantage that both the kinetic and coherent stages of the nucle ation process can be described in a unified way by a single Fokker-Pla nck equation.
