Non-hermitian techniques of canonical transformations in quantum   mechanics
  The quantum mechanical version of the four kinds of classical canonical transformations is investigated by using non-hermitian operator techniques. To help understand the usefulness of this appoach the eigenvalue problem of a harmonic oscillator is solved in two different types of canonical transformations. The quantum form of the classical Hamiton-Jacobi theory is also employed to solve time dependent Schr\"odinger wave equations, showing that when one uses the classical action as a generating function of the quantum canonical transformation of time evolutions of state vectors, the corresponding propagator can easily be obtained.
