Abstract

Using supersymmetric quantum mechanics, one can obtain analytic expressions for the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions for all nonrelativistic shape invariant Hamiltonians. These Hamiltonians also possess spectrum generating algebras and are hence solvable by an independent, group theoretical method. In this paper, we demonstrate the equivalence of the two methods of solution, and review related progress in this field.
