Abstract

We present an analytic method, based on the Bohmian equations for quantum mechanics, for approaching the phase-retrieval problem in the following formulation: By knowing the probability density ψ(r,t)2\left\vert \psi\left(\overrightarrow{r},t\right)\right\vert ^{2} and the energy potential V(r,t)V\left(\overrightarrow{r},t\right) of a system, how can one determine the complex state ψ(r,t)\psi\left(\overrightarrow{r},t\right)? We illustrate our method with three classic examples involving Gaussian states, suggesting applications to quantum state and Hamiltonian engineering.
