Inverse Quantum Potential Reconstruction via Generalized Bertlmann-Martin Inequalities

M. Gage Plott, F. Ayça Çetinkaya, Rick Mukherjee

Reconstructing a radial (1D) quantum potential, V(r), from a few bound-state energies is a long-standing inverse problem because limited spectral data must constrain an entire pote…
