Abstract: We study classical and quantum hidden symmetries of a particle with electric charge e in the background of a Dirac monopole of magnetic charge g subjected to an additional central potential V(r)=U(r)+(eg)2/2mr2 with U(r)=frac12momega2r2, similar to that in the one-dimensional conformal mechanics model of de Alfaro, Fubini and Furlan (AFF). By means of a non-unitary conformal bridge transformation, we establish a relation of the quantum states and of all symmetries of the system with those of the system without harmonic trap, U(r)=0. Introducing spin degrees of freedom via a very special spin-orbit coupling, we construct the mathfrakosp(2,2) superconformal extension of the system with unbroken mathcalN=2 Poincar'e supersymmetry and show that two different superconformal extensions of the one-dimensional AFF model with unbroken and spontaneously broken supersymmetry have a common origin. We also show a universal relationship between the dynamics of a Euclidean particle in an arbitrary central potential U(r) and the dynamics of a charged particle in a monopole background subjected to the potential V(r).
