The uniqueness of the positive ground state solutions of fractional Shrodinger equations with a harmonic potential has not been covered by the breakthrough method developed in [1, 2]. It has remained an open question for years. [3] and [5] were quite recently able to prove the existence of the ground state solutions and to derive important properties but they failed to address the uniqueness. [3] left it as an open question, and [5] run numerical simulations that were in favor of the uniqueness. Very recently, the authors of this note developed a general and unified method to prove the uniqueness of the ground state solutions of a large class of variational problems, they also exhibited many examples to which their approach applies. After the publication of [4], some colleagues reached out to us to know whether our method applies to the fractional Shrodinger equation with a harmonic potential. In this short note, we will explain how it applies, and we will also state some existence/ non-existence and multiplicity solutions of the normalized
