Mixed quantum state of the Bose-Einstein distribution

In summary, the mixed quantum state of the Bose-Einstein distribution describes the statistical behavior of indistinguishable bosons at thermal equilibrium. This distribution characterizes systems where particles occupy a common quantum state, leading to phenomena like condensation and superfluidity. The mixed state reflects the probabilistic nature of particle occupancy across various energy levels, influenced by temperature and external conditions, resulting in unique properties distinct from classical particles.

Why is the quantum state of the Bose-Einstein distribution mixed and not pure? Is there any mathematical proof on this?

What quantum state are you talking about? Do you have a reference?

See e.g. these course notes
Where do these notes talk about a Bose-Einstein distribution? What makes you think the "Bose-Einstein distribution" is a mixed quantum state?
