This talk is assumed to exhibit an overview of the quantum theory for mesoscopic electric circuits and some of its further developments. In the theory the importance of the discreteness of electronic charge in mesoscopic electric circuit is addressed. The mesoscopic LC-design is quantized in accord with the charge discreteness. The uncertainty relation for electric charge and current is given. Because the stationary Schr\"odinger equation is turned to be Mathieu equation in $p$-representation, the wave function and energy spectrum is formally solved. As further applications, the persistent current is obtained by considering the mesoscopic ring as a pure L-design. The Coulomb blockade phenomenon occurs when applying the theory to the pure C-design. Concerning the time evolution of the states for mesoscopic electric circuit, we are able to study it by the method of characteristics. In order to study the dissipative effect in the circuit, we use density-matrix formulation. In this formulation, several type of ``off diagonal'' dissipations are expected to be discussed.
