Quantum equivalent of the Bertrand's theorem

Quantum Physics 2011-07-19 v1

Abstract

A procedure for constructing bound state potentials is given. We show that, under the natural conditions imposed on a radial eigenvalue problem, the only special cases of the general central potential, which are exactly solvable and have infinite number of energy eigenvalues, are the Coulomb and harmonic oscillator potentials.
