Two-parameter classes of exactly solvable quantum systems

The study introduces exactly solvable quantum systems defined by two parameters that result in tridiagonal Hamiltonians. Wavefunctions are built from orthogonal polynomials whose coefficients depend on these parameters, inducing a two-parameter potential. Crucially, changing the initial parameters can cause systems with continuous spectra to develop discrete bound states or resonances.
