Imposing initial conditions to nonequilibrium systems at some time t_0 leads, in renormalized quantum field theory, to the appearance of singularities in the variable t-t_0 in relevant physical quantities, such as energy density and pressure. The origin of these `initial singularities' can be traced back to the choice of initial state. We construct here, by a Bogoliubov transformation, initial states such that these singularities are eliminated. While the construction is not unique it can be considered a minimal way of taking into account the nonequilibrium evolution of the system prior to t_0.

    A charged scalar condensate is quantum-stable to all perturbative orders when it is described by the interacting vacuum of fluctuations, a non-Gaussian dressed coherent state that is an eigenstate of H minus mu Q.
