Abstract
We implement the Rayleigh-Ritz method in supersymmetric quantum mechanics with flat directions, and extract the S-matrix and metastable resonances. The effectiveness of the method is demonstrated in two strongly coupled systems: an \( \mathcal{N} \) = 1 toy supermembrane model, and an \( \mathcal{N} \) = 4 model with a U(1) gauge multiplet and a charged chiral multiplet.
