- Abstract: We study the effect of the boundary on a system of weakly interacting bosons
in one dimension. It strongly influences the boson density which is completely
suppressed at the boundary position. Away from it, the density is depleted over
the distances on the order of the healing length at the mean-field level.
Quantum fluctuations modify the density profile considerably. The local density
approaches the average one as an inverse square of the distance from the
boundary. We calculate an analytic expression for the density profile at
arbitrary separations from the boundary. We then consider the problem of
localization of a foreign quantum particle (impurity) in the potential created
by the inhomogeneous boson density. At the mean-field level, we find exact
results for the energy spectrum of the bound states, the corresponding wave
functions, and the condition for interaction-induced localization. The quantum
contribution to the boson density gives rise to small corrections of the bound
state energy levels. However, it is fundamentally important for the existence
of a long-range Casimir-like interaction between the impurity and the boundary.

We consider an impurity in a weakly-interacting Bose gas and calculate the density profile of the Bose gas.
The effect of quantum fluctuations drastically changes this behavior, leading to a power law decay of the density deviation from the mean density.
The obtained results are exact in the impurity coupling strength and account for the leading order in the interaction between the particles of the Bose gas.
