Abstract:The textbook calculation of the ground-state energy of a dilute gas of Bose particles is examined in detail, and certain mathematical inconsistencies are pointed out. On the basis of this analysis, a refined approach suitable for soft interaction potentials which lend themselves to a low-order Born approximation is developed. This procedure emphasizes the low-density character of the resulting formula for the ground-state energy, and avoids all divergent expressions at intermediate stages of the computation. I… Show more

The comparative behaviour of normal and anomalous averages as functions of momentum or energy, at different temperatures, is analysed for systems with Bose-Einstein condensate. Three qualitatively distinct temperature regions are revealed: The critical region, where the absolute value of the anomalous average, for the main energy range, is much smaller than the normal average. The region of intermediate temperatures, where the absolute values of the anomalous and normal averages are of the same order. And the region of low temperatures, where the absolute value of the anomalous average, for practically all energies, becomes much larger than the normal average. This shows the importance of the anomalous averages for the intermediate and, especially, for low temperatures, where these anomalous averages cannot be neglected. The anomalous value A(E) (solid line) and the normal average n(E) (dashed line) as functions of E for the reduced temperature T /ρΦ 0 = 1.5

“…In order to obtain the ground-state energy of the system, the sum over all these shifts has to be evaluated; this is achieved in Sec. IV with the help of a density expansion which yields only finite quantities at each intermediate step of the calculation [39]. The depletions for a binary condensate are determined by the coefficients of the quasiparticle transformation, and calculated at the end of Sec.…”
When calculating the ground-state energy of a weakly interacting Bose gas
with the help of the customary contact pseudopotential, one meets an artifical
ultraviolet divergence which is caused by the incorrect treatment of the true
interparticle interactions at small distances. We argue that this problem can
be avoided by retaining the actual, momentum-dependent interaction matrix
elements, and use this insight for computing both the ground-state energy and
the depletions of a binary Bose gas mixture. Even when considering the
experimentally relevant case of equal masses of both species, the resulting
expressions are quite involved, and no straightforward generalizations of the
known single-species formulas. On the other hand, we demonstrate in detail how
these latter formulas are recovered from our two-species results in the limit
of vanishing interspecies interaction.Comment: 11 pages, Phys. Rev. A in pres
We define a formalism of a self-consistent description of the ground state of a weakly interacting Bose system, accounting for higher order terms in expansion of energy in the diluteness parameter. The approach is designed to be applied to a Bose-Bose mixture in a regime of weak collapse where quantum fluctuations lead to stabilization of the system and formation of quantum liquid droplets. The approach is based on the Generalized Gross -- Pitaevskii equation accounting for quantum depletion and renormalized anomalous density terms. The equation is self-consistently coupled to modified Bogoliubov equations. We derive well defined procedure to calculate the zero temperature renormalized anomalous density - the quantity needed to correctly describe the formation of quantum liquid droplet. We pay particular attention to the case of droplets harmonically confined in some directions. The method allows to determine the Lee-Huang-Yang-type contribution to the chemical potential of inhomogeneous droplets when the local density approximation fails.
