- Abstract: We analyze two conditionally solvable quantum-mechanical models: a
one-dimensional sextic oscillator and a perturbed Coulomb problem. Both lead to
a three-term recurrence relation for the expansion coefficients. We show
diagrams of the distribution of their exact eigenvalues with the addition of
accurate ones from variational calculations. We discuss the symmetry of such
distributions. We also comment on the wrong interpretation of the exact
eigenvalues and eigenfunctions by some researchers that has led to the
prediction of allowed cyclotron frequencies and field intensities.

We reformulate the technique of third quantization in a way that explicitly connects all three methods.
We first show that our formulation reveals a fundamental dissipative symmetry present in all quadratic bosonic or fermionic Lindbladians.
For bosons, we then show that the Wigner function and the characteristic function can be thought of as ''wavefunctions'' of the density matrix.
