Abstract
We find that a three-mode boson realization of the SU(1,1) Lie algebra is involved in solving the three coupled harmonic oscillators' problem. The unitary operator U, which is found to be able to transform the Fock space of a three–dimensional isotropic harmonic oscillator into the space in which the Hamiltonian of three coupled oscillators is diagonized, is further decomposed as a quantum–mechanical rotation in three–mode Hilbert space followed by an SU(1,1) squeezing transformation. The coordinate representation of this SU(1,1) unitary operator is obtained.
