Abstract

It is well known that the harmonic oscillator potential can be solved by using raising and lowering operators. This operator method can be generalized with the help of supersymmetry and the concept of "shape-invariant" potentials. This generalization allows one to calculate the energy eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of essentially all known exactly solvable potentials in a simple and elegant manner.
