• Abstract: With a number of special Hamiltonians, solutions of the Schr\"{o}dinger equation may be found by separation of variables in more than one coordinate system. The class of potentials involved includes a number of important examples, including the isotropic harmonic oscillator and the Coulomb potential. Multiply separable Hamiltonians exhibit a number of interesting features, including "accidental" degeneracies in their bound state spectra and often classical bound state orbits that always close. We examine another potential, for which the Schr\"{o}dinger equation is separable in both cylindrical and parabolic coordinates: a $z$-independent $V\propto 1/\rho^{2}=1/(x^{2}+y^{2})$ in three dimensions. All the persistent, bound classical orbits in this potential close, because all other orbits with negative energies fall to the center at $\rho=0$. When separated in parabolic coordinates, the Schr\"{o}dinger equation splits into three individual equations, two of which are equivalent to the radial equation in a Coulomb potential---one equation with an attractive potential, the other with an equally strong repulsive potential.

  We find the 2D orbit of Hydrogen electron under a Coulomb force and a perturbing circularly polarized electric field of light at angular frequency. By imposing that the position and velocity of the electron are continuous at time $t = 0$, we show that the orbit of the electron is a sum of five exponential Fourier terms.

  We derive the function $cal P(pm)$, which generates the space evolution under the potential $cal V(q)$ and Hamiltonian $cal H$. Using Dirac's procedure, separation of variables is possible, and while the coupled position-independent Dirac equations depend on the $1/2$-fractional derivative, the coupled time-independent Dirac equations (TIDE) lead to positive and negative shifts in the potential.

At the intersection of the three phases, the system features a critical point with an emergent SU(2) symmetry.
