MESOSCOPIC CIRCUIT WITH LINEAR DISSIPATION

Ting Lu, You‐Quan Li

Publisher

Abstract

We firstly demonstrate the main ideas of quantum theory for mesoscopic electric circuits, which we proposed several years ago. In the theory, the importance of the charge discreteness in a mesoscopic electric circuit is addressed. As a further development, we discuss the mesoscopic electric circuit in the presence of linear dissipation as well as magnetic flux. We propose a quantum Kirchoff equation for the LCR circuit and discuss the oscillations for different criterion factors. We also solve the energy spectra and eigenvalues of the physical current under a soluble symmetry hypothesis.

Quantum Theory for Mesoscopic Electric Circuits and Its Applications

You‐Quan Li, Bin Chen

This talk is assumed to exhibit an overview of the quantum theory for mesoscopic electric circuits and some of its further developments. In the theory the importance of the discreteness of electronic charge in mesoscopic electric circuit is addressed. The mesoscopic LC-design is quantized in accord with the charge discreteness. The uncertainty relation for electric charge and current is given. Because the stationary Schrödinger equation is turned to be Mathieu equation in $p$-representation, the wave function and energy spectrum is formally solved. As further applications, the persistent current is obtained by considering the mesoscopic ring as a pure L-design. The Coulomb blockade phenomenon occurs when applying the theory to the pure C-design. Concerning the time evolution of the states for mesoscopic electric circuit, we are able to study it by the method of characteristics. In order to study the dissipative effect in the circuit, we use density-matrix formulation. In this formulation, several type of ``off diagonal'' dissipations are expected to be discussed.

Quantum theory for mesoscopic electric circuits

You‐Quan Li, Bin Chen

A quantum theory for mesoscopic electric circuits in accord with the discreteness of electric charges is proposed. On the basis of the theory, the Schr\"odinger equation for the quantum LC design and L design is solved exactly. The uncertainty relation for electric charge and current is obtained and a minimum uncertainty state is solved. By introducing a gauge field, a formula for persistent current arising from magnetic flux is obtained. \textcopyright{} 1996 The American Physical Society.

Commutation relations in mesoscopic electric circuits

You‐Quan Li

In the talk, I briefly demonstrate the quantum theory for mesoscopic electric circuits and its applications. In the theory, the importance of the charge discreteness in a mesoscopic electric circuit is addressed. As a result, a new kind of commutation relation for electric charge and current occurred inevitably. The charge representation, canonical current representation and pseudo-current representation are discussed extensively. It not only provides a concrete realization of mathematical models which discuss the space quantization in high energy physics and quantum gravity but also presents a sequence of applications in condensed matter physics from a different point of view. A possible generalization to coupled circuits is also proposed.

DRIVEN MESOSCOPIC ELECTRIC CIRCUITS

Fardin Kheirandish, Hassan Pahlavani

The quantum theory for a mesoscopic electric circuit with charge discreteness is investigated. The persistent current on a quantum ring using an algebraic approach have been obtained. The energy spectrum and the persistent current of a quantum LC-design mesoscopic circuit, with a time-dependent external source, have been found.

THE PERSISTENT CURRENT ON A DRIVEN MESOSCOPIC RLC CIRCUIT

Hassan Pahlavani

The quantum theory for mesoscopic electric LC circuits with charge discreteness is briefly described. We take into account a resistance element (R) as an environment of the discrete-charge mesoscopic quantum LC circuit which is modeled by a Hamiltonian consisting of oscillators with continuous range of frequencies. Using a minimal coupling method, we investigate the quantum dynamics of this system. Hereby, the persistent current on a quantum damped L-design under the external potential source is obtained. Then, we write Heisenberg equations for a driven mesoscopic quantum RLC circuit with a dissipative term proportional to Ohmic damping and obtain persistent current on such a mesoscopic electric circuit.

The Quantum Loop Equation and the Energy Spectrum for the Capacitance Coupled Mesoscopic Circuit with Charge Discreteness

Zhou Huai-ling

The quantum theory for the dual LC mesoscopic coupled electric circuit with charge discreteness is briefly described. The quantum Kirchoff's moving equation, and energy spectrum of the mesoscopic coupled circuit is given under the non-interaction Hamilton digenstate vectors. The results show that, taking account of the charge discreteness, a evident change occurred for the equation of mesoscopic circuit, and the energy spectrum of the circuit are not only related with the circuit parameters, but depended the quantization character of the charge.
