In this talk we review some old and new results about the use of supersymmetric structures in semi-classical problems. Necessary and sufficient conditions are obtained for a real semiclassical partial differential operator of order two to possess a supersymmetric structure. For operators coming from a chain of oscillators, coupled to two heat baths, we show the non-existence of a smooth supersymmetric structure. The recent and new results all come from joint works with Michael Hitrik and Frederic Herau.
