Quantum mechanical spectral engineering by scaling intertwining

Using the concept of spectral engineering we explore the possibilities of building potentials with prescribed spectra offered by a modified intertwining technique involving operators which are the product of a standard first-order intertwiner and a unitary scaling. In the same context we study the iterations of such transformations finding that the scaling intertwining provides a different and richer mechanism in designing quantum spectra with respect to that given by the standard intertwining

On first-order scaling intertwining in quantum mechanics

We generalize the standard first-order intertwining relationship of supersymmetric quantum mechanics in order to include simultaneous scaling transformations in both the original Hamiltonian and the intertwining operator. It is argued that in this way one can generate potentials with more interesting spectra than those obtained by means of the standard first-order intertwining technique and, as an outcome, a simple engineering procedure is presented. The harmonic oscillator potential is used in order to illustrate the previous statements. Moreover, a matrix representation of the scaled intertwining relationship is sketched up allowing for higher-dimensional generalizations in the case of separable potentials

Evolution loops and spin-1/2 systems

The derivation of a new family of magnetic fields inducing exactly solvable spin evolutions is presented. The conditions for which these fields generate the evolution loops (dynamical processes for which any spin state evolves cyclically) are studied. Their natural connection with geometric phases and the corresponding calculation is also elaborated.
