Linear time-translation-invariant (LTI) models offer simple, yet powerful, abstractions of complex classical dynamical systems. Quantum versions of such models have so far relied on assumptions of Markovianity or an internal state-space description. We develop a general quantization scheme for multimode classical LTI systems that reveals their fundamental quantum noise, is applicable to non-Markovian scenarios, and does not require knowledge of an internal description. The resulting model is that of an open quantum LTI system whose dilation to a closed system is characterized by elements of the conjugate symplectic group. Using Lie group techniques, we show that such systems can be synthesized using frequency-dependent interferometers and squeezers. We derive tighter Heisenberg uncertainty bounds, which constrain the ultimate performance of any LTI system, and obtain an invariant representation of their output noise covariance matrix that reveals the ubiquity of "complex squeezing" in lossy systems. This frequency-dependent quantum resource can be hidden to homodyne and heterodyne detection and can only be revealed with more general "symplectodyne" detection. These results establish a complete and systematic framework for the analysis, synthesis, and measurement of arbitrary quantum LTI systems.
