Abstract
In this reply to the comment on 'Quantization rules for bound states in qua ntum wells' we point out some interesting differences between the supersymm etric Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin (WKB) quantization rule and a matrix genera lization of usual WKB (mWKB) and Bohr-Sommerfeld (mBS) quantization rules s uggested by us. There are certain advantages in each of the supersymmetric WKB (SWKB), mWKB and mBS quantization rules. Depending on the quantum well, one of these could be more useful than the other and it is premature to cl aim unconditional superiority of SWKB over mWKB and mBS quantization rules.
