Hidden supersymmetry in quantum bosonic systems

  • 1. Departamento de Fisica, Universidad de Santiago de Chile, Casilla 307, Santiago 2 (Chile)

Description

We show that some simple well-studied quantum mechanical systems without fermion (spin) degrees of freedom display, surprisingly, a hidden supersymmetry. The list includes the bound state Aharonov-Bohm, the Dirac delta and the Poeschl-Teller potential problems, in which the unbroken and broken N = 2 supersymmetry of linear and nonlinear (polynomial) forms is revealed
