Abstract: We extend our exact reformulation of the bosonic many-body problem in terms of a stochastic Hartree ansatz to a stochastic Gutzwiller ansatz for the Bose – Hubbard model. The use of this ansatz makes the corresponding Monte Carlo scheme more efficient for strongly correlated bosonic phases like the Mott insulator phase or the Tonks phase. We present a first numerical application of this stochastic method to a system of impenetrable bosons on a 1D lattice showing the transition from the discrete Tonks gas to the Mott phase as the chemical potential is increased.
