Abstract
In this paper we consider the effect of self-localization of a quantum impurity in Bose-Einstein condensate. Space correlation function of the impurity is evaluated with the help of the imaginary-time path integral approach. Employing the Feynman's variational method we calculate the impurity correlation function as well as the energy of the system associated with the impurity. The effect of self-localization predicted before within Gross-Pitaevskii approach is recovered by our treatment. The strong coupling regime with negative ground state energy is reached by variational method, and corresponding correlation function is calculated.
