Abstract
We present exact solutions of the one-dimensional Schrödinger equation with a harmonic oscillator plus an inverse square potential. The ladder operators are constructed by the factorization method. We find that these operators satisfy the commutation relations of the generators of the dynamical group SU(1, 1). Based on those ladder operators, we obtain the analytical expressions of matrix elements for some related functions ρ and [Formula: see text] with ρ=x2. Finally, we make some comments on the Barut–Girardello coherent states and the hidden symmetry between E(x) and E(ix) by substituting x→ix.
