We associate the stationary harmonic oscillator with time-dependent systems exhibiting non-Hermiticity by means of point transformations. The new systems are exactly solvable, with all-real spectra, and transit to the Hermitian configuration for the appropriate values of the involved parameters. We provide a concrete generalization of the Swanson oscillator that includes the Caldirola–Kanai model as a particular case. Explicit solutions are given in both the classical and quantum pictures.

By making use of linear and quadratic invariants and the invariant operator formulation of Lewis and Riesenfeld, the complete exact solutions of the Schrödinger equation for the generalized time-dependent harmonic oscillator are obtained. It is shown that the general solution of the system under consideration contains both the discrete and continuous spectrum. The connection between linear and quadratic invariants and their corresponding eigenstates via time-dependent auxiliary equations is also established.

AbstractThe complete symmetry group of a forced harmonic oscillator is shown to be Sl(3, R) in the one-dimensional case. Approaching the problem through the Hamiltonian invariants and the method of extended Lie groups, the method used is that of time-dependent point transformations. The result applies equally well to the forced repulsive oscillator and a particle moving under the influence of a coordinate-free force. The generalization to na-dimensional systems is discussed.
