Nonequilibrium Spin Noise and Noise of Susceptibility

arXiv:1407.6937 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.90.205419

Abstract

We analyze out-of-equilibrium fluctuations in a driven spin system and relate them to the noise of spin susceptibility. In the spirit of the linear response theory we further relate the noise of susceptibility to a -spin correlation function in equilibrium. We show that, in contrast to the second noise (noise of noise), the noise of susceptibility is a direct measure of non-Gaussian fluctuations in the system. We develop a general framework for calculating the noise of susceptibility using the Majorana representation of spin-1/2 operators. We illustrate our approach by a simple example of non-interacting spins coupled to a dissipative (Ohmic) bath.
