Abstract

A method for the approximate reconstruction of single particle bound states and potentials from incomplete information is proposed on the basis of an information theory based prescription for probability distributions and a consistent ansatz for the wave function of excited states. Numerical results indicate that it is possible to obtain reliable predictions of such quantities with a small amount of information.
