Solution of the hydrogen atom using Supersymmetry

Abstract In this work we present the solution of the Schrödinger equation through a modern version of the factorization method by using the formalism of the so-called Supersymmetric Quantum Mechanics. The analyzed system is the hydrogen atom, the radial and the angular parts of the spherical coordinates are studied with the presented methodology. Special emphasis is given to adaptation made to each of these coordinates. The approach used is general and can be presented as an alternative to traditional methods of solution of the Schrödinger equation such as the Frobenius method.
