Abstract

The integrals of motion of the classical two-dimensional superintegrable systems with quadratic integrals of motion close in a restrained quadratic Poisson algebra, whose the general form is investigated. Each classical superintegrable problem has a quantum counterpart, a quantum superintegrable system. The quadratic Poisson algebra is deformed into a quantum associative algebra, the finite-dimensional representations of this algebra are calculated by using a deformed parafermion oscillator technique. It is shown that the finite dimensional representations of the quadratic algebra are determined by the energy eigenvalues of the superintegrable system. The calculation of energy eigenvalues is reduced to the solution of algebraic equations, which are universal, that is for all two-dimensional superintegrable systems with quadratic integrals of motion.
