We quantize subcritical bubbles which are formed in the weakly first orderphase transition. We find that the typical size of the thermal fluctuationreduces in the quantum-statistical physics. We estimate the typical size andthe amplitude of thermal fluctuations near the critical temperature in theelectroweak phase transition using quantum statistical average. Furthermorebased on our study, we give implication on the dynamics of phase transition.Comment: Latex file, 9pp, to be published in Progress of Theoretical Physic
