Current noise in biased superconducting weak links
TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived a general expression for the frequency-dependent current-current correlation function valid for arbitrary temperatures, transparencies, and bias voltages, and applied it to a single current-carrying quantum mode with perfect transparency, and at zero frequency and temperature.

Low-frequency noise of quantum point contacts in the ballistic and quantum Hall regime
TL;DR: In this paper, the low-frequency resistance noise of quantum point contacts is shown to be dominated by fluctuations in the electrostatic potential, and the suppression is enhanced by a strong magnetic field due to the absence of backscattering.
