We analyze the multitime correlations of a laser-induced Bose-Einstein condensate. We use quantum stochastic methods to obtain, under certain circumstances, a Fokker-Planck equation that describes the phase-diffusion process and an analytical expression of the two-time correlations. We also perform quantum Monte Carlo numerical simulations of the correlations, which are in good agreement with the predicted analytical results.
