• Abstract: We investigate quantum synchronization phenomena in electrical circuits that incorporate specifically designed nonconservative elements. A dissipative theory of classical and quantized electrical circuits is developed based on the Rayleigh dissipation function. The introduction of this framework enables the formulation of a generalized version of classical Poisson brackets, which are termed Poisson-Rayleigh brackets. By using these brackets, we are able to derive the equations of motion for a given circuit. Remarkably, these equations are found to correspond to Kirchhoff's current laws when Kirchhoff's voltage laws are employed to impose topological constraints, and vice versa. In the quantum setting, the equations of motion are referred to as the Kirchhoff-Heisenberg equations, as they represent Kirchhoff's laws within the Heisenberg picture. These Kirchhoff-Heisenberg equations, serving as the native equations for an electrical circuit, can be used in place of the more abstract master equations in Lindblad form. To validate our theoretical framework, we examine three distinct circuits. The first circuit consists of two resonators coupled via a nonconservative element. The second circuit extends the first to incorporate weakly nonlinear resonators, such as transmons. Lastly, we investigate a circuit involving two resonators connected through an inductor in series with a resistor. This last circuit, which incidentally represents a realistic implementation, allows for the study of a singular system, where the absence of a coordinate leads to an ill-defined system of Hamilton's equations. To analyze such a pathological circuit, we introduce the concept of auxiliary circuit element. After resolving the singularity, we demonstrate that this element can be effectively eliminated at the conclusion of the analysis, recuperating the original circuit.

  We present a theory of circuit quantization that treats charges and flux on a manifestly symmetric footing. For planar circuits, known circuit dualities are a natural canonical transformation on the classical phase space. We discuss the extent to which such circuit dualities generalize to non-planar circuits.

  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.

  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.
