The notion of ladder operators is introduced for systems with continuous spectra. We identify two different kinds of annihilation operators allowing the definition of coherent states as modified "eigenvectors" of these operators. Axioms of…
Courses on undergraduate quantum mechanics usually focus on solutions of the Schr\"odinger equation for several simple one-dimensional examples. When the notion of a Hilbert space is introduced only academic examples are used, such as the…

Fredholm integral operators that commute with the Hamiltonians of certain quantum mechanical problems with quartic potentials are introduced. The operators are expressed in terms of an Airy function, and their eigenvalues fall off…
We consider a general discrete Sobolev inner product involving the Hahn difference operator, so this includes the well--known difference operators $\mathscr{D}_{q}$ and $\Delta$ and, as a limit case, the derivative operator. The objective…
We discuss the role of commuting operators for quantum superintegrable systems, showing how they are used to build eigenfunctions. These ideas are illustrated in the context of resonant harmonic oscillators, the Krall-Sheffer operators,…

We study "the Caged Anisotropic Harmonic Oscillator", which is a new example of a superintegrable, or accidentally degenerate Hamiltonian. The potential is that of the harmonic oscillator with rational frequency ratio (l:m:n), but…
We demonstrate an algebraic construction of all the simultaneous eigenfunctions of the conserved operators for distinguishable particles governed by the Calogero Hamiltonian. Our construction is completely parallel to the construction of…
