Supersymmetric solution of PT-/non-PT-symmetric and non-Hermitian Morse potential is studied to get real and complex-valued energy eigenvalues and corresponding wave functions. Hamiltonian Hierarchy method is used in the calculations.

The general structure of the Hamiltonian hierarchy of the pseudo-Coulomb and pseudo-Harmonic potentials is constructed by the factorization method within the supersymmetric quantum mechanics (SQMS) formalism. The excited states and spectra of eigenfunctions of the potentials are obtained through the generation of the members of the hierarchy. It is shown that the extra centrifugal term added to the Coulomb and Harmonic potentials maintain their exact solvability.

Using the ladder operator technique, a construction of the supersymmetric Hamiltonian is proposed. We show that the accidental degeneracies associated with the Coulomb and isotropic oscillator problems may be attributed to the existence of a supersymmetry of the Hamiltonians.

Introducing the associated Bessel polynomials in terms of two nonnegative integers, we factorize their corresponding differential equation into a product of first-order differential operators by four different ways as shape invariance equations. Then, the radial part of the bound states of the Schrö dinger equation of a hydrogen-like atom is derived using one of the factorization methods in the framework of supersymmetric quantum mechanics. In this approach, we regenerate the radial bound states and their corresponding spectrum, which are consistent with the well-known facts. Based on the generalization of the supersymmetry idea, we shall show that two hydrogen-like atoms with the same energy of the electron possess three extra supersymmetric structures in addition to an ordinary one.

An analytically solvable Woods-Saxon potential for = 0 states is presented within the framework of Supersymmetric Quantum Mechanics formalism. The shape-invariance approach and Hamiltonian hierarchy method are included in calculations by means of a translation of parameters. The approximate energy spectrum of this potential is obtained for = 0 states, applying the Woods-Saxon square approximation to the centrifugal barrier term of the Schrödinger equation.

In these lecture notes we shall study first the supersymmetric quantum mechanics (SUSY QM), specially when applied to the harmonic and radial oscillators. In addition, we will define the polynomial Heisenberg algebras (PHA), and we will study the general systems ruled by them: for zero and first order we obtain the harmonic and radial oscillators, respectively; for second and third order PHA the potential is determined by solutions to Painleve ́ IV (PIV) and Painleve ́ V (PV) equations. Taking advantage of this connection, later on we will find solutions to PIV and PV equations expressed in terms of confluent hypergeometric functions. Furthermore, we will classify them into several solution hierarchies, according to the specific special functions they are connected with.

An approximate solution of the Schrödinger equation for the generalized Hulthén potential with non-zero angular quantum number is solved. The bound state energy eigenvalues and eigenfunctions are obtained in terms of Jacobi polynomials. The Nikiforov-Uvarov method is used in the computations. We have considered the timeindependent Schrödinger equation with the associated form of Hulthén potential which simulate the effect of the centrifugal barrier for any l-state. The energy levels of the used Hulthén potential gives satisfactory values for the non-zero angular momentum as the generalized Hulthén effective potential.

The Schrödinger equation with the PT−symmetric Hulthén potential is solved exactly by taking into account effect of the centrifugal barrier for any l-state. Eigenfunctions are obtained in terms of the Jacobi polynomials. The Nikiforov-Uvarov method is used in the computations. Our numerical results are in good agreement with the ones obtained before.

Supersymmetric quantum mechanics (SUSY QM) is a powerful tool for generating new potentials with known spectra departing from an initial solvable one. In these lecture notes we will present some general formulae concerning SUSY QM of first and second order for one-dimensional arbitrary systems, and we will illustrate the method through the trigonometric Pöschl-Teller potentials. Some intrinsically related subjects, as the algebraic structure inherited by the new Hamiltonians and the corresponding coherent states will be analyzed. The technique will be as well implemented for periodic potentials, for which the corresponding spectrum is composed of allowed bands separated by energy gaps.

Three dimensional exactly solvable quantum potentials for which an extra term of form 1 r 2 has been added are shown to maintain their functional form which allows the construction of the Hamiltonian hierarchy and the determination of the spectra of eigenvalues and eigenfunctions within the Supersymmetric Quantum Mechanics formalism. For the specific cases of the harmonic oscillator and the Coulomb potentials, known as pseudo-harmonic oscillator and pseudo-Coulomb potentials, it is shown here that the inclusion of the new term corresponds to rescaling the angular momentum and it is responsible for maintaining their exact solvability.
