摘要

We study the isotropic and anisotropic Hamiltonian of two coupled harmonic oscillators from an algebraic approach of the SU(1,1) and SU(2) groups. In order to obtain the energy spectrum and eigenfunctions of this problem, we write its Hamiltonian in terms of the boson generators of the SU(1,1) and SU(2) groups. We use the one boson and two boson realizations of the su(1,1) Lie algebra, and the one boson realization of the su(2) Lie algebra to apply three tilting transformations to diagonalize the original Hamiltonian. These transformations allow us to obtain the energy spectrum and eigenfunctions of the isotropic and the anisotropic cases, from which the particular expected results are obtained for the cases where the coupling is neglected.
