The supersymmetry based semiclassical method (SWKB) is known to produce exact spectra for conventional shape invariant potentials. In this paper we prove that this exactness follows from their additive shape invariance.
The exactness of the semiclassical method for three-dimensional problems in quantum mechanics is analyzed. The wave equation appropriate in the quasiclassical region is derived. It is shown that application of the standard leading-order WKB…
Higher-order WKB methods are used to investigate the border between the solvable and insolvable portions of the spectrum of quasi-exactly solvable quantum-mechanical potentials. The analysis reveals scaling and factorization properties that…
We analyse the accuracy of the approximate WKB quantization for the case of general one-dimensional quartic potential. In particular, we are interested in the validity of semiclassically predicted energy eigenvalues when approaching the…
We derive the semiclassical WKB quantization condition for obtaining the energy band edges of periodic potentials. The derivation is based on an approach which is much simpler than the usual method of interpolating with linear potentials in…
Following the verification of the conjecture made by Comtet, Bandrauk and Campbell that the supersymmetry-inspired semiclassical method known as SWKB is exact for the conventional additive shape invariant potentials, it was widely believed…
We perform a systematic WKB expansion to all orders for a one-dimensional system with potential $V(x)=U_0/\cos^2{(\alpha x)}$. We are able to sum the series to the exact energy spectrum. Then we show that at any finite order the error of…
We perform a systematic WKB expansion to all orders for a one--dimensional system with potential $V(x)=U_0/\cos^2{(\alpha x)}$. We are able to sum the series to the exact energy spectrum. Then we show that any finite order WKB approximation…
Wave equations with energy-dependent potentials appear in many areas of physics, ranging from nuclear physics to black hole perturbation theory. In this work, we use the semi-classical WKB method to first revisit the computation of bound…
We analyze quantitatively the accuracy of eigenfunction and eigenvalue calculations in the frame work of WKB and instanton semiclassical methods. We show that to estimate the accuracy it is enough to compare two linearly independent (with…
We approximate given potentials by means of the specially introduced reference potentials. On the one hand their parameters may be easily found from the usual WKB integral for the given potential; on the other hand they allow a simple…
Semiclassical methods are essential in analyzing quantum mechanical systems. Although they generally produce approximate results, relatively rare potentials exist for which these methods are exact. Such intriguing potentials serve as…
It has previously been proved that the lowest order supersymmetric WKB approximation reproduces the exact bound state spectrum of shape invariant potentials. We show that this is not true for a new, recently discovered class of shape…
We derive the analytical eigenvalues and eigenstates of a family of potentials wells with exponential form (FPWEF). We provide a brief summary of the supersymmetry formalism applied to quantum mechanics and illustrate it by producing from…
We explore the exact-WKB (EWKB) method through the analysis of Airy and Weber types, with an emphasis on the exact quantization of locally harmonic potentials in multiple sectors. The core innovation of our work lies in introducing a novel…
It is shown that by means of the approach based on the Quantum Hamilton-Jacobi equation, it is possible to modify the WKB expressions for the energy levels of quantum systems, when incorrect, obtaining exact WKB-like formulae. This extends…
Semiclassical methods provide important tools for approximating solutions in quantum mechanics. In several cases these methods are intriguingly exact rather than approximate, as has been shown by direct calculations on particular systems.…
Two types of semiclassical calculations have been used to study quantum effects in black hole backgrounds, the WKB and the mean field approaches. In this work we systematically reconstruct the logical implications of both methods on quantum…
Using a recently proposed classification for the primary translationally shape invariant potentials, we show that the exact quantization rule formulated by Ma and Xu is equivalent to the supersymmetric JWKB quantization condition. The…
We numerically compute eigenvalues of the non-self-adjoint Zakharov--Shabat problem in the semiclassical regime. In particular, we compute the eigenvalues for a Gaussian potential and compare the results to the corresponding (formal) WKB…
