    In this paper, we attack the specific time-dependent Hamiltonian problem \(H = -\frac 12 e^{\Upsilon(t-t_0)}\partial_{xx}+\frac 12 \omega^2 e^{-\Upsilon(t-t_0)}x^2\). This corresponds to a time-dependent mass Schrödinger equation. We give the specific transformations to (i) the more general quadratic Schrödinger equation and to (ii) a different time-dependent oscillator equation. For each Schrödinger system, we give the Lie algebra of space-time symmetries, the number states, the coherent states, the squeezed-states, and the time-dependent \(\langle x\rangle,\langle p\rangle, (\Delta x)^2,(\Delta p)^2\), and uncertainty product.
