Description

In this paper, we focus on a general class of Schroedinger equations that are time dependent and quadratic in X and P. We transform Schroedinger equations in this class, via a class of time-dependent mass equations, to a class of solvable time-dependent oscillator equations. This transformation consists of a unitary transformation and a change in the ''time'' variable. We derive mathematical constraints for the transformation and introduce two examples.
