The exact wave function and basic invariants for a mesoscopic RLC circuit are obtained via a sequence of unitary transformations.It is shown that the eigenstates of the basic invariant are just the squeezed states which can be constructed by using the exact wave function of the system.
We present a quantum description of a mesoscopic RLC circuit. Based on the Caldirola-Kanai Hamiltonian and quantum invariant method we solve the Schrödinger equation for this circuit and write the corresponding wave functions in terms of a particular solution of the Milne-Pinney equation. In addition, we construct coherent and squeezed states for the quantized RLC circuit and evaluate the quantum fluctuations of the charge and the magnetic flux as well as the uncertainty product. Subject Index: 060, 064 The study of mesoscopic systems has attracted a lot of attention in the litera-ture in the last few years.1)–19) The great interest in these systems is motived partly because of the rapid development of nanophysics and nanoelectronics and partly because in the manufacture of electronics devices the miniaturization of integrated
According to the LR invariant theory, the mesoscopic RLC circuit driven by a alternating current source was discussed. The mutual coupling of electron wave functions between the two plates of capacitor and the resistance of the circuit were taken into account. In our conclusion, the quantum states which dominate the dynamic property of the system and the time evolution operator of the mesoscopic circuit were obtained. The wave function of the mesoscopic RLC system will evolve from an arbitrary initial state to a generalized squeezed state.
