Abstract

Using the transformations from paper I, we show that the Schrödinger equations for: (1)systems described by quadratic Hamiltonians, (2) systems with time-varying mass, and (3) time-dependent oscillators, all have isomorphic Lie space-time symmetry algebras. The generators of the symmetry algebras are obtained explicitly for each case and sets of number-operator states are constructed. The algebras and the states are used to compute displacement-operator coherent and squeezed states. Some properties of the coherent and squeezed states are calculated. The classical motion of these states is deomonstrated.
