Quantization of the electrical LC harmonic oscillator:
parallel LC oscillator circuit:
voltage across the oscillator:
total energy (Hamiltonian):
with the charge Q stored on the capacitor
a flux f stored in the inductor
properties of Hamiltonian written in variables Q and f
Q and f are canonical variables
see e.g.: Goldstein, Classical Mechanics, Chapter 8, Hamilton Equations of Motion
Quantum version of Hamiltonian
with commutation relation
compare with particle in a harmonic potential:
analogy with electrical oscillator:
- charge Q corresponds to momentum p
- flux f corresponds to position x
Hamiltonian in terms of raising and lowering operators:
with oscillator resonance frequency:
Raising and lowering operators:
number operator
in terms of Q and f
with Z c being the characteristic impedance of the oscillator
charge Q and flux f operators can be expressed in terms of raising and lowering
operators:
Exercise: Making use of the commutation relations for the charge and flux operators,
show that the harmonic oscillator Hamiltonian in terms of the raising and lowering
operators is identical to the one in terms of charge and flux operators.
