The Energy of an Arbitrary Electrical Circuit, Classical and Quantum

June 17, 2021
I have recently improved my theory of how to obtain the Hamiltonian and equations of motion of an arbitrary electrical circuit, both classically and quantum mechanically. In particular, I have included holonomic reductions of auxiliry circuits as well as generalized Poisson brackets to treat dissipative networks. This article summarizes a body of work I developed over the past 15 years. The article is also availabe on the arXiv.org at https://arxiv.org/abs/2007.08519 .

Summer of 2024

August 29, 2024

I thought that I would offer a brief update on some items that have been added to these webpages during June, July, and August 2024.

1) Report on my trip to the International Sustainability Transitions Conference in Oslo in June 2024.  

2) A new report on the impact of energy audits upon householders' electricity consumption, both on-peak and total...
