• Abstract: Building on the first-order circuit quantization method [arXiv:2304.12252, arXiv:2401.09120], we provide simple formulas to construct exact Hamiltonians for Josephson-junction-based superconducting qudits capacitively, inductively, or galvanically coupled to passive linear environments. These environments may be multiport, multimode, discrete or continuous, reciprocal or nonreciprocal, and are characterized directly by their impedance or admittance matrices. In the weak-coupling regime, we further derive \emph{divergence-free} dispersive Hamiltonians for mode-resolved environments and transition-resolved weak-coupling master equations for dissipative continua. Mode structure, frequency renormalizations, environment-mediated interactions, decay rates, and directional cross couplings then follow from the same causal immittance response, while spurious Lamb-shift divergences arising from uncontrolled approximations in previous treatments are made explicit and avoided. We apply the theory to a set of illustrative circuits comprising a discrete resonator filter, finite-band metamaterial environments, nonreciprocal waveguide-QED systems, and superconducting giant atoms, for which analytical response matrices can be obtained, although the method is particularly well suited to numerical responses from electromagnetic solvers or experimental characterization. We thereby extend the black-box quantization framework to multiport, dissipative, and nonreciprocal settings, establishing a simple and scalable route toward optimized and automated electromagnetic design of large-scale superconducting quantum hardware.
