I have only heard about the use of ladder operators in connection with the harmonic oscillator and spin states. However, I would expect them to be useful in other systems as well.
For example, can we find ladder operators for the discrete states of the hydrogen atom, or any other system with discrete energy levels? Are there established conditions that guarantee their existence?
Thanks for any help.
