  A nonparametric Bayesian approach is developed to determine quantum
potentials from empirical data for quantum systems at finite temperature. The
approach combines the likelihood model of quantum mechanics with a priori
information over potentials implemented in form of stochastic processes. Its
specific advantages are the possibilities to deal with heterogeneous data and
to express a priori information explicitly, i.e., directly in terms of the
potential of interest. A numerical solution in maximum a posteriori
approximation was feasible for one--dimensional problems. Using correct a
priori information turned out to be essential.
