Abstract

We present the general form of potentials with two given energy levels E1E_{1}, E2E_{2} and find corresponding wave functions. These entities are expressed in terms of one function ξ(x)\xi (x) and one parameter ΔE=E2\Delta E=E_{2}-E1E_{1}. We show how the quantum numbers of both levels depend on properties of the function ξ(x)\xi (x). Our approach does not need resorting to the technique of supersymmetric (SUSY) quantum mechanics but automatically generates both the potential and superpotential.
