Abstract
By using the partial trace method and the technique of integration within an ordered product of operators we obtain the explicit expression of the generalized thermal vacuum state (GTVS) for an RLC circuit instead of using the Takahashi–Umezawa approach. According to thermal field dynamics (TFD), namely, the expectation value of physical observables in this GTVS is equivalent to their ensemble average, based on GTVS we successfully derive the quantum fluctuations at nonzero temperature and the thermodynamical relations for the mesoscopic RLC circuit. Our results show that the higher the temperature is, the more quantum noise the RLC circuit exhibits.
