Supersymmetry in quantum mechanics - Singapore ; River Edge, NJ : World Scientific, c2001. - xi, 210 p. : pb ; 21 x 13 cm.

n the past ten years, the ideas of super-symmetry have been profitably applied to many non-relativistic quantum mechanical problems. In particular, there is now a much deeper understanding of why certain potentials are analytically solvable and an array of powerful new approximation methods for handling potentials which are not exactly solvable. In this report, we review the theoretical formulation of supersymmetric quantum mechanics and discuss many applications. Exactly solvable potentials can be understood in terms of a few basic ideas which include supersymmetric partner potentials, shape in-variance and operator transformations. Familiar solvable potentials all have the property of shape invariance
