In this paper, I propose a technique for recovering quantum dynamical information from imaginary-time data via the resolution of a one-dimensional Hamburger moment problem. It is shown that the quantum autocorrelation functions are uniquely determined by and can be reconstructed from their sequence of derivatives at origin. A general class of reconstruction algorithms is then identified, according to Theorem 3. The technique is advocated as especially effective for a certain class of quantum problems in continuum space, for which only a few moments are necessary. For such problems, it is argued that the derivatives at origin can be evaluated by Monte Carlo simulations via estimators of finite variances in the limit of an infinite number of path variables. Finally, a maximum entropy inversion algorithm for the Hamburger moment problem is utilized to compute the quantum rate of reaction for a one-dimensional symmetric Eckart barrier.
