If a particle is subject to potential 〈V(x)〉
The potential is known, and in the absense of any non-conservative influences, the Hamiltonian is equal to the potential.

Probably start here:
〈V(x)〉 = ∫ dx V(x)
〈d/dx V(x)〉 = ∫ d/dx V(x) dx = V(x)
d/dt 〈p〉 = d/dt ∫ dx p(x)
the definition of momentum in function space is
d/dt p(x) = -d/dx V(x)
