We investigate Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) of water coupled with sound and light, namely Quantum Brain Dynamics (QBD) of water, phonons and photons. We provide phonon degrees of freedom as additional quanta in the framework of QBD in this paper. We begin with the Lagrangian density QED with non-relativistic charged bosons, photons and phonons, and derive time-evolution equations of coherent fields and Kadanoff–Baym (KB) equations for incoherent particles. We next show an acoustic super-radiance solution in our model. We also introduce a kinetic entropy current in KB equations in 1st order approximation in the gradient expansion and show the H-theorem for self-energy in Hartree–Fock approximation. We finally derive conserved number density of charged bosons and conserved energy density in spatially homogeneous system.
