The addition of the supersymmetric method provides several appealing qualities to this method. First, it is known that, by construction, the ground state energy will be exactly estimated. This is an improvement over the standard WKB approximation, which often has weaknesses at lower energies. Another

property is that a class of potentials known as shape invariant potentials have their energy spectra estimated exactly by this first-order condition.
