      Similarly to the original question set by \textit{M. Kac} [Am. Math. Mon. 73, 1--23 (1966; Zbl 0139.05603)] ``Can one hear the shape of a drum?'', we may wonder whether in quantum mechanics we can recover the Hamiltonian from the spectral data. The issue has been considered in several papers, in particular for the Schrödinger operator \(-h^2\Delta+ V(x)\), see for example \textit{V. Guillemin} and \textit{A. Uribe} [Math. Res. Lett. 14, No. 4, 623-632 (2007; Zbl 1138.35006)].NEWLINENEWLINE Here the authors present a collection of interesting results on the subject. Rather than precise information on the eigenvalues, they take as starting point the trace of \textit{M. Gutzwiller} [J. Math. Phys. 12, 343--358 (1971; \url{doi:10.1063/1.1665596})] and fix attention on the case of an elliptic non-degenerate periodic trajectory \(\lambda\), possibly reduced to a point. From this, they are able to deduce the full Taylor expansion in a neighborhood of \(\lambda\) of the potential \(V(x)\) or the quantum Hamiltonian \(H(x,\eta)\) in the general case.
