This talk formally addresses the issue of quantum bound states in a dilute gas of interacting Bosons with spatially varying scattering length. There are two related questions to be discussed. (i) What is a plausible modeling of pair correlations, beyond the Gross-Pitaevskii limit? (ii) What is the effective, homogenized description of the gas for a scattering length with periodic microstructure?
