Double-Step Shape Invariance in Quantum Mechanics

A recent study published in Axioms delves into the double-step shape invariance of radial Jacobi-Reference (JRef) potential, revealing violations of conventional supersymmetric (SUSY) quantum mechanics rules. By dissecting the Darboux transformations, researchers elucidate the anomaly, shedding light on the breakdown of SUSY principles in specific quantum mechanical scenarios, offering insights into the broader landscape of quantum mechanics.
