Abstract
This is a brief survey of applications of the harmonic
superspace methods to the models of N=4 supersymmetric
quantum mechanics (SQM). The main focus is on a recent progress in
constructing SQM models with couplings to the background non-Abelian
gauge fields. Besides reviewing and systemizing the relevant
results, we present some new examples and make clarifying comments.
Key words:
supersymmetry; harmonic superspace; mechanics.
