Quantum description of a time-dependent mesoscopic RLC circuit
I. A. Pedrosa
In this paper, we present a comprehensive quantum description of a mesoscopic RLC circuit with time-dependent resistance, inductance and capacitance. Based on the dynamical invariant method and using quadratic invariants, we derive exact nonstationary quantum states for this circuit and write them in terms of solutions of the Milne–Pinney equation. Afterwards, we use quadratic invariants to construct coherent states for this quantized system and employ them to investigate quantum properties of the RLC circuit. In particular, we show that the product of the quantum fluctuations of the charge and the magnetic flux does not satisfy the minimum uncertainty relation.
