It is possible to construct representations of the Lorentz group using four-dimensional harmonic oscillators. This allows us to construct three-dimensional wave functions with the usual rotational symmetry for space-like coordinates and one-dimensional wave function for time-like coordinate. It is then possible to construct a representation of the Poincar\'e group for a massive particles having the O(3) internal space-time symmetry in its rest frame. This oscillator can also be separated into two transverse components and the two-dimensional world of the longitudinal and time-like coordinates. The transverse components remain unchanged under Lorentz boosts, while it is possible to construct the squeeze representation of the $O(1,1)$ group in the space of the longitudinal and time-like coordinates. While the squeeze representation forms the basic language for squeezed states of light, it can be combined with the transverse components to form the representation of the Poincar\`e group for relativistic extended particles.
