Abstract: The Landau problem for inhomogeneous magnetic fields is examined in a very general context and several interesting analogies with the Nielsen-Olesen vortices are established. Firstly we show that the Landau problem with non-homogeneous magnetic fields exhibits Meissner effect that is unstable unless two-body interactions are added and vortices emerge. Using the scaling freedom we can write the Schr"odinger equation in terms of the scales ratio $kappa=E/mpropto1-T/T_c$ where the last identification is realised simply by using the Gizburg-Landau theory. We find our equations are valid in the superconducting regime, and it is not possible for the Cooper pairs amplitude to reach to a constant, non-zero value, and therefore the theory is unstable. The supersymmetric quantum mechanics version, by completeness, is also considered.
