Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Toledo, Toledo, Ohio 43606 (Dated: February 4, 2008) We present a variational Monte Carlo (VMC) formulation for the universal equations of state at the Van der Waals length scale [B. Gao, J. Phys. B 37, L227 (2004)] for N Bose atoms in a trap. The theory illustrates both how such equations of state can be computed exactly, and the existence and the importance of long-range atom-atom correlation under strong confinement. Explicit numerical results are presented for N = 3 and 5, and used to provide a quantitative understanding of the shape-dependent confinement correction that is important for few atoms under strong confinement.

INTRODUCTION Few atoms in a trap, which can in principle be real- ized, e.g., through a Mott transition from a degenerate quantum gas in a optical lattice [1, 2], is a fundamental system for studying atomic interactions and correlations. It has many features of a many-atom system, yet still suf- ficiently simple to be amenable to a number of different theoretical approaches that can check against and learn from each other. These methods include, for example, the Monte Carlo methods (see, e.g., [3, 4, 5, 6, 7]), and the hyperspherical methods [8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14]. Unlike the problem of two identical atoms in a sym- metric harmonic trap, which can be reduced to a 1-D problem and be solved exactly [15, 16, 17, 18, 19], the problem of N atoms in a trap (N 2) is much more complex. Partly due to this complexity, and partly due to our previously limited understanding of atomic inter- action based on the effect-range theory [20, 21], existing studies of N atoms in a trap, with virtually no exception,
