Abstract

We construct a variational ground-state wave function of weakly interacting M-component Bose-Einstein condensates beyond the mean-field theory by incorporating the dynamical 3/2-body processes, where one of the two colliding particles drops into the condensate and vice versa. Our numerical results with various masses and particle numbers show that the 3/2-body processes between different particles make finite contributions to lowering the ground-state energy, implying that many-body correlation effects between different particles are essential even in the weak-coupling regime of the Bose--Einstein condensates. We also consider the stability condition for 22-component miscible states using the new ground-state wave function. Through this calculation, we obtain the relation UAB2/UAAUBB<1+αU^{2}_{AB}/U_{AA}U_{BB}<1+\alpha, where UijU_{ij} is the effective contact potential between particles ii and jj and α\alpha is the correction, which originates from the 3/23/2-body and 22-body processes.
