Abstract

The goal of this note is to show that Jordan algebras and superalgebras provide an elegant and concise language for formulating quantum mechanical problems with inherent (super)conformal symmetry. The superconformal symmetries of the quantum MICZ-Kepler model and its dual oscillator realization in R2{\mathbb R}^2 are reviewed through the lens of the Tits-Kantor-Koecher correspondence: Kaplansky JR12{\mathfrak J} {\mathbb R}^{1|2} and Exceptional JF64{\mathfrak J} F^{6|4} Jordan superalgebras provide a natural framework for reconstructing (variously extended) superconformal algebras hidden in the Landau levels of an electron in an external magnetic field.
