• Abstract: In the quest to produce quantum technology, superconducting networks, working at temperatures just above absolute zero, have arisen as one of the most promising physical implementations. The precise analysis and synthesis of such circuits have required merging the fields of physics, engineering, and mathematics. In this dissertation, we develop mathematically consistent and precise Hamiltonian models to describe ideal superconducting networks made of an arbitrary number of lumped elements, such as capacitors, inductors, Josephson and phase-slip junctions, gyrators, etc., and distributed ones like transmission lines. We give formal proofs for the decoupling at high and low frequencies of lumped degrees of freedom from infinite-dimensional systems in different coupling configurations in models based on the effective Kirchhoff's laws. We extend the standard theory to quantize circuits that include ideal nonreciprocal elements all the way to their Hamiltonian descriptions in a systematic way. Finally, we pave the way on how to quantize general frequency-dependent gyrators and circulators coupled to both transmission lines and other lumped-element networks. We have explicitly shown, that these models, albeit ideal, are finite and present no divergence issues. We explain and dispel misunderstandings from the previous literature. Furthermore, we have demonstrated the usefulness of a redundant basis for performing separation of variables of the transmission line (1D) fields in the presence of point-like (lumped-element) couplings by time-reversal symmetry-breaking terms, i.e. nonreciprocal elements.

This work unifies diverse existent geometrical pictures of electrical network theory, and will prove useful, for instance, to automatize the computation of exact Hamiltonian descriptions of superconducting quantum chips.

  We reformulate the technique of third quantization in a way that explicitly connects all three methods. We first show that our formulation reveals a fundamental dissipative symmetry present in all quadratic bosonic or fermionic Lindbladians. For bosons, we then show that the Wigner function and the characteristic function can be thought of as ''wavefunctions'' of the density matrix.

• Consistent Quantization of Nearly Singular Superconducting Circuits [0.0]
  We demonstrate the failure of the Dirac-Bergmann theory for the quantization of realistic, nearly singular superconducting circuits. The correct treatment of nearly singular systems involves a perturbative Born-Oppenheimer analysis. We find that the singular limit of this regularized analysis is, in many cases, completely unlike the singular theory.

  We present a circuit design composed of a non-reciprocal device and Josephson junctions whose ground space is doubly degenerate and the ground states are approximate codewords of the Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill (GKP) code. We find that the circuit is naturally protected against the common noise channels in superconducting circuits, such as charge and flux noise, implying that it can be used for passive quantum error correction.
