Abstract

An algebraic (matrix) method is presented for canonically transforming the Hamiltonians quadratic in coordinate and momentum operators into the Hamiltonian of non-interacting harmonic oscillators. The method is illustrated by transforming the Hamiltonian of a harmonic oscillator in a constant magnetic field into the Hamiltonian of the two-dimensional, in general anisotropic, harmonic oscillator. The results are found to be in agreement with those obtained previously for the same Hamiltonian using a different technique.
