London superconductor and time-varying mesoscopic LC circuits

Inácio A Pedrosa, Luciano Nascimento

Abstract

In this work we study the classical and quantum dynamics of a London superconductor and of a time-dependent mesoscopic or nanoscale LC circuit by assuming that the inductance and capacitance vary exponentially with time at constant rate. Surprisingly, we find that the behavior of these two systems are equivalent, both classically and quantum mechanically, and can be mapped into a standard damped harmonic oscillator which is described by the Caldirola-Kanai Hamiltonian. With the aid of the dynamical invariant method and Fock states, we solve the time-dependent Schr\"odinger equation associated with this Hamiltonian and calculate some important physical properties of these systems such as expectation values of the charge and magnetic flux, their variances and the respective uncertainty principle.

On the dynamics of a time-dependent mesoscopic LC circuit with a negative inductance

I. A. Pedrosa, E. Nogueira, I. Guedes

We discuss the problem of a mesoscopic LC circuit with a negative inductance ruled by a time-dependent Hermitian Hamiltonian. Classically, we find unusual expressions for the Faraday’s law and for the inductance of a solenoid. Quantum mechanically, we solve exactly the time-dependent Schrödinger equation through the Lewis and Riesenfeld invariant operator method and construct Gaussian wave packet solutions for this time-dependent LC circuit. We also evaluate the expectation values of the charge and the magnetic flux in these Gaussian states, their quantum fluctuations and the corresponding uncertainty product.

Dinâmica quântica de um circuito RLC mesoscópico

Anderson Pereira Pinheiro

In this work we present a quantum description of a mesoscopic RLC circuit without source. For this purpose, we model this system for that of a damped harmonic oscillator which is described by the Caldirola-Kanai Hamiltonian. Then, with the aid of the quantum invariant method we solve the Schrödinger equation associated with this Hamiltonian and write the corresponding wave functions in terms of a particular solution of the Milne-Pinney equation. We also construct coherent states for the RLC quantized, and evaluate the quantum fluctuations of the charge and the magnetic flux, as well as the corresponding product of uncertainty.

Dissipative in quantum mesoscopic RLC circuits

Hassan Pahlavani, Razmjou Arash

The quantum theory for a mesoscopic electric circuit with charge discreteness is investigated. Taking the Caldirola-Kanai Hamiltonian in studding quantum mechanics of dissipative systems, we obtain the persistent current and the energy spectrum of a damped quantum LC-design mesoscopic circuit under the influence of a time-dependent external field.

Double wave description of the time-dependent mesoscopic LC electric circuit

Liang Mai-lin

The quantum double wave theory is applied to the time-dependent mesoscopic LC electric circuit with time-dependent capacitance and inductance. The averages and quantum fluctuations of the electric charge and magnetic flux (electric current) are given for a single time-dependent LC electric circuit. The obtained averages of the electric charge and magnetic flux satisfy the classical equation of motion. After making statistical average over the initial phases, the average and quantum fluctuation of every quantity reduce to that derived by the standard quantum mechanics. These results show that the double wave theory can be used to describe a single time-dependent mesoscopic electric circuit.

Linear invariants and the quantum dynamics of a nonstationary mesoscopic RLC circuit with a source

I. A. Pedrosa, J. Lemos de Melo, E. Nogueira

In this paper, we use Hermitian linear invariants and the Lewis and Riesenfeld invariant method to obtain the general solution of the Schrödinger equation for a mesoscopic RLC circuit with time-dependent resistance, inductance, capacitance and a power source and represent it in terms of an arbitrary weight function. In addition, we construct Gaussian wave packet solutions for this electromagnetic oscillation circuit and employ them to calculate the quantum fluctuations of the charge and the magnetic flux as well as the associated uncertainty product. We also show that the width of the Gaussian packet and the fluctuations do not depend on the external power.
