Firstly, this paper examines the differential equations satisfied by the first-order approximations of the superpotentials. Through an example, namely Rosen\u2013Morse (trigonometric) superpotentials, the specific forms of these first-order approximations are analyzed. Based on these simple first-order approximations, this paper then delves into the ground-state wave functions of the superpotential. Secondly, this paper derives the differential equations satisfied by the second-order approximations with the first-order approximations. Using the harmonic oscillator superpotentials as an example, similarly, non-unique forms for the second-order approximations are obtained. By selecting simpler forms for the first- and second-order approximations, the authors further investigate the ground-state wave functions of the superpotential with the second-order approximation. Thirdly, the authors discuss the Hamiltonians of the potential with the first- and second-order approximations, concluding that the additional term originates from the corrections to the superpotential. Finally, conclusions and prospects are provided.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/sym17040493","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,25]],"date-time":"2025-03-25T12:18:52Z","timestamp":1742905132000},"page":"493","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["The Second-Order Approximation of Superpotentials Based on SUSYQM"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Yao","family":"Liu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Physics and Electronic Engineering, Chongqing Normal University, Chongqing 401331, China"}]},{"given":"Yin","family":"Yin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Physics and Electronic Engineering, Chongqing Normal University, Chongqing 401331, China"}]},{"given":"Wenxin","family":"Qiu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Physics and Electronic Engineering, Chongqing Normal University, Chongqing 401331, China"}]},{"given":"Wei","family":"Cheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Physics and Electronic Engineering, Chongqing Normal University, Chongqing 401331, China"}]},{"given":"Huan","family":"Lu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Physics and Electronic Engineering, Chongqing Normal University, Chongqing 401331, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3698-9311","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Guang","family":"Luo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Physics and Electronic Engineering, Chongqing Normal University, Chongqing 401331, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"5374","DOI":"10.1073\/pnas.1302475110","article-title":"Schr\u00f6dinger equation revisited","volume":"110","author":"Schleich","year":"2013","journal-title":"Proc.
