description The model presented by Gabriel Kron in 1945 is an example of an analog computer simulating quantum phenomena on a hardware level. It uses passive RLC elements to construct a hardware solver for the problem of quantum particles confined by rectangular or other classes of potential. The analytical and numerical validation of Kron’s second model is conducted for different shapes of particle-confining potentials in the one-dimensional case using an LTspice simulator. Thus, there remains potential for obtaining solutions in two- and three-dimensional cases. Here, a circuit model representing a linearized Ginzburg–Landau equation is given. Kron’s second model is generalized by the introduction of linear and non-linear resistive elements. This transforms the deformed Schrödinger equation into a linear dissipative Schrödinger equation and its non-linear form. The quantum mechanical roton problem is the main result of this work and is formulated by means of classical physical states naturally present in the LC classical circular electrical transmission line. The experimental verification of Kron’s model is confirmed.
