Abstract

The systems with multimode nonstationary Hamiltonians quadratic in position and momentum operators are reviewed. The tomographic probability distributions (tomograms) for the Fock states and Gaussian states of the quadratic systems are discussed. The tomograms for the Fock states are expressed in terms of multivariable Hermite polynomials. Using the obvious physical relations some new formulas for multivariable Hermite polynomials are found. Examples of oscillator and charge moving in electromagnetic field are presented.
