Ji‐Suo Wang, Tang-Kun Liu, Mingsheng Zhan · Chinese Physics Letters · 2000
The quantum wavefunctions and the corresponding energy levels of a RLC (Resistance-Inductance-Capacity) electric circuit are obtained by using canonical quantization method and unitary transformation from the classical equation of motion. The quantum fluctuations of charge and current in an arbitrary eigenstate of the system have also been given as well as the uncertainty relation. It is showed that even if at 0 K charge and current in the circuit exhibit quantum fluctuations, which originates from fluctuations of zero point vibrations of the system.
