Abstract

We specify the formally exact multiconfigurational time-dependent Hartree method originally developed for systems of distinguishable degrees of freedom to mixtures consisting of two types of identical particles. All three cases, Fermi-Fermi, Bose-Bose, and Bose-Fermi mixtures, are treated on an equal footing making explicit use of the reduced one- and two-body density matrices of the mixture. The theory naturally contains as specific cases the versions of the multiconfigurational time-dependent Hartree method for single-species fermions and bosons. Explicit and compact equations of motion are derived and their properties and usage are briefly discussed.
