We first construct the formal scheme for carrying out systematic perturbation theory in terms of single particle Green's functions. We introduce a new relevant object, the renormalized boson-fermion T-matrix which we determine to second order in the boson-fermion s-wave scattering length. We also discuss how to incorporate the usual boson-boson T-matrix in mean-field approximation to obtain the total ground state properties of the system. The next order term beyond mean- field stems from the boson-fermion interaction and is proportional to \$a_{scriptsize BF}k_{scriptsize F}\$. The total ground-state energy-density reads \$E/V =epsilon_{scriptsize F} + epsilon_{scriptsize B} + (2pihbar^{2}a_{ m BF}n_{scriptsize B}n_{scriptsize F}/m) [1 + a_{scriptsize BF}k_{scriptsize F}f(delta)/pi]\$. The first term is the kinetic energy of the free fermions, the second term is the boson-boson mean-field interaction, the pre-factor to the additional term is the usual mean-field contribution to the boson-fermion interaction energy, and the second term in the square brackets is the second-order correction, where \$f(delta)\$ is a known function of \$delta= (m_{scriptsize B} - m_{scriptsize F})/(m_{scriptsize B} + m_{scriptsize F})\$. We discuss the relevance of this new term, how it can be incorporated into existing theories of boson-fermion mixtures, and its importance in various parameter regimes, in particular considering mixtures of \$^{6}\$Li and \$^{7}\$Li and of \$^{3}\$He and \$^{4}\$He.}, language = {en} } @article{AlbusIlluminatiWilkens2003, author = {Albus, Alexander P. and Illuminati, Fabrizio and Wilkens, Martin}, title = {Ground-state properties of trapped Bose-Fermi mixtures: Role of exchange correlation}, year = {2003}, language = {en} } @article{BuschEnglertRzazewskietal.1998, author = {Busch, Thomas and Englert, Bertold-Georg and Rzazewski, Kazimierz and Wilkens, Martin}, title = {Two cold atoms in a harmonic trap}, year = {1998}, abstract = {Two ultracold atoms moving in a trap interact weakly at a very short distance.

Furthermore, we demonstrate enhancement of the efficiency of purification protocols with the help of entanglement-assisted operations.
