Extended Laplace–Runge–Lentz vectors, new family of superintegrable systems and quadratic algebras

Abstract

We present a useful proposition for discovering extended Laplace–Runge–Lentz vectors of certain quantum mechanical systems. We propose a new family of superintegrable systems and construct their integrals of motion. We solve these systems via separation of variables in spherical coordinates and obtain their exact energy eigenvalues and the corresponding eigenfunctions. We give the quadratic algebra relations satisfied by the integrals of motion. Remarkably these algebra relations involve the Casimir operators of certain higher rank Lie algebras in the structure constants.
