SUMMARY
The Darboux transformation preserves the discrete spectrum of the Hamiltonian in quantum mechanics, with the exception of one eigenvalue. The relationship between the two Hamiltonians is defined as H1 = LL* + const and H2 = L*L + const, where L represents the ladder operators Q±. The proof of this preservation hinges on the identification of L, which simplifies the argument to straightforward algebraic manipulation.
