Abstract: We consider the problem of the time-dependent degenerate parametric amplifier. We obtain the quadratic invariant and use it to derive the wave function via its $su(1,1)$ algebraic basis and a unitary transformation to the time-dependent Schrödinger equation for the parametric amplifier. We obtain the real and the complex invariants, which we use to solve the time-dependent Cauchy problem. Using different integrability conditions, we find the most general solution, which we analyze extensively, providing details of the calculations.

Keywords: wave function, Lie algebra.
