Abstract:
We consider a class of potentials for which the exact semiclassical quantization is achieved by a certain modification of the quantization condition. A list of potentials for which the new quantization condition is exact coincides with the list of potentials for which the spectrum is determined by the factorization method. We construct a one-parameter family of quantization conditions including the supersymmetric WKB condition as a special case. The new condition allows considering the interrelations between different modifications of the leading approximation and their validity ranges and also allows developing new approximate methods for calculating spectra.
