Quantum Fluctuations in Damped Inductive-Coupled Electric Circuit
Liang Mai-lin
Abstract
Based on the physical mechanism of the generation of resistance, i.e. the collision of electrons with lattices, the inductive-coupled electric circuit was quantized when there exists resistance in the coupling part. Quantum fluctuations were calculated for both the component circuits and the coupling part. And meanwhile, the temperature effect was included. The result shows that quantum fluctuations change with time, but reach definite values after a long time. The resistance in the coupling part affects the quantum fluctuations both in the coupling part and in the component circuits. Compared to the former results, the quantum fluctuations derived by this new method are smaller.
