Starting from the basic equations for the quantized electromagnetic tield. the authors use Bogolyubov's principle of weakening of initial correlations to derive a quantum kinetic equation for photons in a plasma. The simplest approximation leads to the usual equation of radiative transfer. Kirchhoff
