Abstract

A mixture of two kinds of identical bosons, species and species , held in a harmonic potential and interacting by harmonic intra-species and inter-species particle-particle interactions is discussed. To prove Bose-Einstein condensation of the mixture three steps are needed. First, we integrate the all-particle density matrix, employing a four-parameter matrix recurrence relations, down to the lowest-order intra-species and inter-species reduced density matrices of the mixture. Second, the coupled Gross-Pitaevskii (mean-field) equations of the mixture are solved analytically. Third, we analyze the mixture's reduced density matrices in the limit of an infinite number of particles of both species and (when the interaction parameters, i.e., the products of the number of particles times the intra-species and inter-species interaction strengths, are held fixed) and prove that: (i) Both species and are 100\% condensed; (ii) The inter-species reduced density matrix per particle is separable and given by the product of the intra-species reduced density matrices per particle; and (iii) The mixture's energy per particle, and reduced density matrices and densities per particle all coincide with the Gross-Pitaevskii quantities. Finally, when the infinite-particle limit is taken with respect to, say, species only (with interaction parameters held fixed) we prove that: (iv) Only species is 100\% condensed and its reduced density matrix and density per particle, as well as the mixture's energy per particle, coincide with the Gross-Pitaevskii quantities of species alone; and (v) The inter-species reduced density matrix per particle is nonetheless separable and given by the product of the intra-species reduced density matrices per particle.
