Abstract
We study degenerate mixtures of heavy bosons and light superfluid bosons using a variational polaron transformation. We consider the Mott-insulator–superfluid transition of the heavy species and find that at T=0 interaction favors the superfluid phase of the heavy species. Our analytic results agree well with numerically exact quantum Monte Carlo simulations in two dimensions. We then show that in three dimensions the variational polaron transformation can be combined with a Gutzwiller approximation to give good results.
