Thermal effect and energy-level transition rule for a mesoscopic LC circuit with inductance–capacitance coupling

Abstract

This paper reports that the mesoscopic inductance and capacitance coupling LC circuit is quantized by means of the canonical quantization method. Using the ‘invariant eigen-operator’ method, it deduces the energy-level transition rule when the system is disturbed by an external electromagnetic field. At the same time, the quantum fluctuations for the system at finite temperature are examined by virtue of the generalized Hellmann–Feynman theorem.
